lyrics

Don’t be a stranger she said to me
With fingertips sliding down the window of my taxi
I need the empty roads to clear the atmosphere
But I need her to know I haven’t gone anywhere

I’m trying to show you that I’m on your side
But nothing we’ve said has filled the divide
I know that we stumble but we’ll get it right
Don’t give up on me

Don’t be a stranger she said to me
But my hands still hold on to our history
And going back to the start is the best place for me
The best place for me and anybody

We’re just two lovers with nowhere to be
We can go where there’s crooning and travel lightly
Without the usual load, without complexity
But in the moment I know it’s hard to see

I’m trying to show you that I’m on your side
But nothing we’ve said has filled the divide
It’s been slow burning, but there is still fire
Don’t give up on me, don’t give up on me,
Don’t give up on me.
