Strangers All Your Life

(introduction and intermediate refrain)

Don't fall in love with strangers
They'll only break your heart
Don't fall in love with strangers
Who love you from the start

(main chorus and base for ending)

I hope you fall in love each night
With strangers all your life
I hope you keep falling in love
And never drain your light

ii It's how we find our sight /
iii You pull me to your light /
iv And radiate your flight /
v And want me by your side

(verses)

It's not an art so much an addiction
It's something you can't help or miss
I lose or gain sustain this fiction
You have to practice life for this

I see their shining eyes glow bright
And feel our souls grow free
You wouldn't believe a star so bright
Could burn like this with me

It's not a craft so much an addiction
It often makes things feel much worse
I can't help make these cakes of fiction
But if I stay it I'll surely burst

You walk my path you trace my steps
You know you have to ponder
Moments like this don't come except
When two souls can freely wander

(last verse setting up intermediate, main, and ending)

It's not art so much apart
It's not a work of fiction
You and I can stop or start
This unlike an addiction

I hope you fall in love each night
With strangers all your life
