[Verse 1]

I did everything in hopes that you would notice

Though I can't recall your face or given name

I believe we could have been the closest allies

Though I've nearly nothing to back the claim

[Verse 2]

You are my favorite stranger, soft and distant

We could've painted towns all wild and red

I doubt this just a little in the graying sky

When October falls and rests its turning head

[Verse 3]

If nothing ever reaches true conclusions

I'll say it plain and just attempt the truth

Yeah, I'm sure you don’t recall this brief illusion

Except on accidental evenings, dark and blue

Yeah, accidental evenings, dark and blue, ooh

Hmm, hmm
