"Hey Stranger" lyrics

Hey stranger
It'd be nice to know your name
Waiting on our nightly train
We trade glances everyday

And I can't help but imagine
How I'd mess it up if I said "hey"
But I wanna know you all the same
Hey stranger, it'd be nice to know your name

Hey stranger
I notice every book you read
You finish them so fast
I could never match that speed

So I can't even find a way
To start a conversation with "hey, I've read that one too!"
But I wanna know you all the same
Gee stranger, it'd be nice to know your name

I'm a coward in sheep's clothing cause I
Watch, and wait, and hope, and pray
All the hours we've spent seats apart
I could have tested fate
I'm a fool
Who watches you get off at the stop before mine
I'll see you tomorrow
But as you go, we catch each other's eyes

Hey stranger
Before you hopped off the train
Why'd you wave, why'd you wave at me
With a smile on your face?

My heart is doing cartwheels
And there's a fuzzy feeling in my brain
I wanna know you all the same
Tomorrow, it'd be nice to catch your name
I wanna know you all the same
Hey stranger, it'd be nice to know your name
