halfway stranger - isabel pless lyrics

[verse 1]
i always thought
maybe our fates were intertwined
paralleled lives
meeting as perpendicular lines
you were there
when i expected you the least
and i think you must have felt the same way about me

[chorus]
i’ve seen you in grocery store aisles
and on busy streets
i’ve seen you sitting in crowds
and i’ve seen you in dreams
at times i’ve pretended not to see you
so we wouldn’t have to speak
bеcause letting you percеive me
is the scariest thing
i know the layout of your house
and you know mine
but i know nothing about you
after all this time
never admitted that i
would like to feel your touch
or missed a halfway stranger
quite this much
[verse 2]
i asked your mom
how you’re doing in the city
said you’ve got a new girlfriend
well, i bet she’s pretty
and i’ve found someone too
but when my face is in their neck
i sometimes think of you

[chorus]
i’ve seen you in grocery store aisles
and on busy streets
when someone asks you
“what do you regret?”
do you think of me?
at times i’ve pretended not to see you
so we wouldn’t have to speak
because letting you perceive me
is the scariest thing
i know the layout of your house
and you know mine
but i know nothing about you
after all this time
never admitted that i
would like to feel your touch
or missed a halfway stranger
quite this much
[verse 3]
and now i’m on the
red line
it smells like beer
and dirt
and i’m thinking
of your face
pressed up
to hers
i’m swaying in my grimy seat
grappling with this feral dream
with my fists
i get off at
harvard square
and let you disappear
into thin air
my thoughts of you
are heavy but brief
they only get to me
momentarily

[chorus]
i’ve seen you in grocery store aisles
and on busy streets
i guess i always thought
that in the end
you’d come back to me
at times i’ve pretended not to see you
so we wouldn’t have to speak
because letting you perceive me
is the scariest thing
i know the layout of your house
and you know mine
but i know nothing about you
after all this time
never admitted that i
would like to feel your touch
or missed a halfway stranger
quite this much
halfway stranger
quite this much
