"Dear Stranger," lyrics

Found the string to pull the parachute
Just before I hit the ground
I stopped and thought of you
Oh what a lovely view when you're not dying
Letting go of you was terrifying

I think the sun has parted with the clouds
They finally put their differences behind them for a while
And I can feel the heat kissing my skin
I can feel the blood rushing back in

Hello again, dear stranger, hello again
I hope you know I've missed ya. How have you been?
I've been pretty bad
But I am coming back
And I'll be seeing you again

I said some things to you I did not mean
I promised more than I should have and ruined everything
But yesterday, oh, yesterday is gone
Heaven only knows the time I've lost

Hello again, dear stranger, hello again
I hope you know I've missed ya. How have you been?
I've been pretty bad
But I am coming back
And I'll be seeing you again

I am not the same
I will not be the same again
Don't go looking for the girl you loved, her innocence is dead
And I buried all my sin inside a casket in a grave
Here lies someone almost famous who gave up everything

Hello again, dear stranger, hello again
I hope you know I've missed ya. How have you been?
I've been pretty bad
But I am coming back
And I'll be seeing you

I've been pretty bad
But I am not as sad
And I'll be seeing you again
