Sitting across the table in a far fetched room full of unknowns...

You enter with a backpack and your headphones on...

I see you and you glare and sit by the window to watch the rain outside...

you don't say so i don't tell,for what it's worth we are strangers so let it be this way.

You read a book which i like..

I utter some words from a song which you live by..

though we are strangers we seem so close..

but you don't say so i don't tell, for what it's worth we are strangers so let it be this way.

Pulling your hair tight behind, you look up and ask about me..

I narrate my side of story and ask about yours..

you smile and fill some gaps..

so now we chat and laugh and share a smoke..

But there is something we both will never understand..

Why strangers meet and leave?..

you don't say so i don't tell, for what it's worth we are strangers so let it be this way
