Perfect Stranger

The first time you appeared there as a shadow on the wall The second time I barely even saw you there at all And all the dreams and fantasies that put you to the test - I take the faintest outline, and my mind fills in the rest Will I need you like a brand new morning sun? Or will I grow to hate you like all the other ones? But what I think you are is all I see And as long as you're a stranger As long as you're a stranger you'll stay perfect to me Every night a lonely fight for something to be clear I turn the page of dreary days and that's where you appear So I build you up in little clay constructions in my head And I like what I see Will I need you like a brand new morning sun? Or will I grow to hate you like all the other ones? But what I think you are is all I see And as long as you're a stranger As long as you're a stranger you'll stay perfect to me I used to seek within the crowd a place for me to hide Or look in every eye and try to find myself inside But in all this confusion I have finally seen the light I'll never know a person like the you I know tonight Will I need you like a brand new morning sun? Or will I grow to hate you like all the other ones? But what I think you are is all I see And as long as you're a stranger As long as you're a stranger you'll stay perfect to me
