Perfect Stranger - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Skin in marble from the cool water

(You can tell the truth

I swear I won’t be mad at you)

Feel my hair swirling in the pool

(I’m drowning out the room

I’ve got such a bad attitude)

Oh, she’s the perfect stranger

Oh, oh

She’s the perfect stranger

Sloping shoulders, dip in the mood

I just wanna know if you get in the deep end too

I try to focus, it’s nothing new

My imagination dives right into questioning you

Oh, ‘cause she’s the perfect stranger

Oh, oh

‘Cause she’s the perfect stranger

She’s the phosphorescence you could never touch

But you keep running your hands

Through where you thought she was

And I’m always darkest in the summer months

But I kept it light for you

But it’s never quite enough

Oh, always in your eye line

Never in your heart

Never quite enough

Oh, always on the decline

Never looking up

Never quite enough

She’s omnipresent and that’s enough

Her distance means she’s always just as close as you’d want

That’s how you like it

And I should know

‘Cause I was once the stranger with the perfect glow

Oh, if you could do me this favour

Oh, oh

Let me be the perfect stranger

Oh, I’m the perfect stranger
