"Favourite Stranger" Lyrics

Sometimes I feel I lost something in gaining everything
But I can't put my finger on what it was
It's just one of those nagging feelings
Like sitting with your back to an open door
Waiting on a favorite stranger, a favorite stranger

I find it hard to talk about
It's not easy as you might expect
Just sitting here waiting, trying to accept
That there's something missing
That there's something not quite there
And that's why you're sitting there
Listening to me as I try to explain

You're my favorite stranger but don't read between the lines
I could tell you I love you at this moment in passing time
But I could honestly tell you
I don't know why I'm here sharing all my problems with you
When you've already got your own share from favorite stranger

Maybe it's just I need an audience to pretend it's all an act
But all I gain is your confidence and a number in a Filofax
On the terms that it's a first name that will run
One day in split champagne and I'll recollect and just accept
That you were one of my favorite stranger, my favorite stranger

You're my favorite stranger but don't read between the lines
I could say that I love you at this moment in passing time
But I could honestly tell you
I don't know why I'm here sharing all my problems with you
When you've already got your own share from favorite stranger

Sometimes I know I lost everything in gaining something
But I can't put my finger on what it was, it's just a nagging feelings
Like sitting with your back to an open door
Expecting favorite stranger, expecting favorite stranger

I could honestly tell you
That you're my favorite stranger
I could honestly tell you cross my heart
That you're my favorite stranger
