[Verse 1]
Rain and petrol on a friday night
Queuing up for the 3:05
Catching eyes in taxi lines
Swapping stairs between headlights

[Verse 2]
Last calls and "Goodnights"
Dim streetlamps and closing bars
Mask all as I follow you into the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
And all you'll ever be is another mystery
Another blank page on which I never wrote
Cause strangers of the heart will never get to start
A history, no they'll just let go

[Chorus]
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger to me
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger to me

[Verse 3]
Silhouettes pass through window glass
When the lights shut off you'll let me in
A TV flickers and makes you laugh
It casts a white glow on your skin

[Pre-Chorus]
And all you'll ever be is another mystery
Another blank page on which I never wrote
Cause strangers of the heart will never get to start
A history, no they'll just let go

[Chorus]
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger to me
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger

[Post-Chorus 1]
I caught a look in your eyes
As your hands shook in mine
Every time you're alone
I'll be one step behind

[Pre-Chorus]
And all you'll ever be is another mystery
Another blank page on which I never wrote
Cause strangers of the heart will never get to start
A history, no they'll just let go

[Chorus]
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger to me
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger

[Post-Chorus 2]
I saw the fear in your eyes
Your clenched fingers turned white
Every time you're alone
I'll be right by your side
