Where We Are Now

Talk to me like you would to a stranger
With endless patience you would listen to her
In bursts of insolence, you're quick to compliment
You're not indifferent to her sense of worth

For what it's worth I think you never knew me
We're intimate strangers with dissonant thoughts
Back and forth we walk right through each other
We're intimate strangers who share only walls

Kiss me now like you would kiss a stranger
You met for the first time in the elevator
So I would blush when I thought of it later
This is not far from where we are right now

For what it's worth I think you never knew me
We're intimate strangers with dissonant thoughts
Back and forth we walk right through each other
We're intimate strangers who share only walls

Miss me now or you will miss me later
It's not without consequence things that you say
Words become hideous creatures surrounding
Tormenting their maker while he lies awake

For what it's worth I think you never knew me
We're intimate strangers with dissonant thoughts
Back and forth we walk right through each other
We're intimate strangers who share only walls

If you knew me, you'd find out I'm lovely
Dear, if we have to do this again
I would lose you to keep you my friend
