We Could Be Strangers

She says, “The odds are against you I won’t break your heart” He says, “You’ll lose the one sooner or later Just being who you are” This conversation’s at an impasse Maybe the future will look brighter undressed We could be strangers for one night longer Leave the trysts and tumors for tomorrow 'Cause no one’s really better off No one’s really better off Alone She says, “No point speeding back to your place I’ve got no other plans” As they lay there bleeding on the freeway He takes her by the hand “I never wanted to disappoint you At least I’ll never even get the chance to” We could be strangers for one night longer Save the trysts and tumors The nights at home We could be strangers for one night longer Leave the crazy highs and The crazy lows We could be strangers for one night longer Who any of us are, well Nobody knows 'Cause no one’s really better off No one’s really better off Alone
