Stranger

This and the following song are proberbly the 2 most honest songs I've ever written in my life. This one can be interpreted in a few ways, as my friend pointed out. She said it can be seen as either a lost lover, or someone wanting to meet a person to give their heart to. I wrote it with the latter in mind.

Hey stranger, when may I call you my own?
I know I don't know you, but there's somewhere I've seen you before
Whatever your name is, whatever you do
There's nothing between us I'm willing to lose

Just call me if ever our paths may collide
I want you to hold me under these darkening skies
Whoever you love now, whoever you kiss
The ones in between us I'm willing to miss

Now I'm drifting out over deep oceans
And the tide won't take me back in
On these desperate nights I call you again and again

There's comfort, comfort in things we believe
Other than danger, wanting the things I can't see
Where ever you live now, where ever you walk
There's distance between us I'm willing to cross

Now I'm drifting out over deep oceans
And the tide won't take me back in
On these desperate nights I'll call you again and again

Hey stranger when may i call you my own?
I know I don't know you, but there's somewhere I've seen you before
