Hello Stranger - The Fratellis

Hello stranger it’s been oh so long

Since we wrote our love where we once belong

I think of you sometimes when the air is clear

I wonder are you near

Sometimes the end is sweet

Though when it comes to you my poor heartbeat

Gets out of sync

Out of time they stretch

Visions of you

I see you in these books I read

You’re still being born at breakneck speed

Sometimes there’s no confession on this earth that will not leave you bound

Listen to the streetcars breathing

The night is young and life is calling

See you when the dream gets moving

Lift your eyes the world is watching

And after all we both know how this ends

We both know we must get back what we spend

Hello stranger did you ever find

All those priceless jewels that kept you entwined

I sometimes see your name when the day gets slow

I wonder did you know

I left your house praying while those words I spoke on upside down

Listen to the streetcars breathing

The night is young and life is calling

See you when the dream gets moving

Lift your eyes the world is watching

And after all we both know how this ends

We both know we must get back what we spend

Listen to the streetcars breathing

The night is young and life is calling

See you when the dream gets moving

Lift your eyes the world is watching

So lose those sad eyes and be on your way

Keep your friends close and your love on display

And after all we both know how this ends

We both know we must get back what we spend

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we’ll meet again someday

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we’ll meet again someday

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we’ll meet again someday

Let it out, turn around, slip away

Maybe we’ll meet again someday
