Skin and marble from the cool water You can tell the truth I swear I won't be mad at you Feel my hair swelling 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 hand 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 Oh, I'm the perfect stranger
