"Still Strangers Sometimes" lyrics

I was geared up for obscurity
Excited most specifically
About knowing you'd soon reach for me
And I'd be gone

You always took me to another place
Part childhood, part outer space
But the naked truth of our face-to-face
It's just not what I want

'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes
And even as you claim that you can read my mind
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes

Love was supposed to help me find myself
Not just put me through this private hell
That gets worse each time I tell you
What feels wrong

Just a glimpse of what's achievable
A sympathy unspeakable
Has left me a bit unreachable
For way too long

'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes
Even if you're still my doctor Frankenstein
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes

You spend enough time with a mystery
Its powers start to atrophy
So if you can't get to the heart of me
Let's just walk away

'Cause even when your body gets that close to mine
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes
Even as we cross each other's borderlines
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes
We're still strangers sometimes
