We are strangers but we know each other
We recognise us in the crowd
I know your face like the face of my brother
It's soft and striking and proud

I watch you as I walk past
Wanting to stay but walking fast
Everytime I see you
I learn something new
Something small, a little fact
I can't get enough of that

I wish to get to know you, all of you, before I leave
I wish to know your real and natural and objective me
The picture in my head, fill it out
Or if it isn't true, throw it out
But how will I show you?
That I really want to know you

Say, how will I take that step
And create the day we met
Cause at the same time
I don't want to social climb
Having you be my stranger
Feels just fine
