Imperfect Stranger

Throw it all to the wind
Let it whistle down the neck
Empty bottle spilling over
Shuffling freely ‘cross the deck

Falling short, standing tall
Feeling nothing at all
Except the swaying of the cradle
-Wouldn’t hurt me to fall

Too close
Looking for comfort
In a stranger’s eyes
Stepping back,
But pushing forward
Never felt so wise

Sophistication, charm
All in perfect proportion
Three sheets to the wind
And you can keep your caution

Intoxicated logic
Taste my confidence growing
Nihilistic candour
Keeps the sentiments flowing

You and me are the same
Just keep forgetting your name
Kindred spirit, falling angel
Must be fate that I have found you

But I mean it, really, I’m a serious guy
Now that you’ve mended these wings
All I need is to fly
We can do anything, see
I think there’s magic in the air
They say I’ve lost my mind
But I no longer care

Because tonight is all that matters
And the moon is high
If tomorrow never comes
I’ll never ask it why

So let’s take to the stars
I feel my engines burning
‘Cause time means nothing
If the world ain’t turning

Caught in the moment
Never felt so free
Born again
-I think I found my destiny
So stay close to me, girl
And we’ll never come down
Because rapture is here – all sorrows shall drown

See I once was lost, not too long ago
Blinded by the night’s fears
Silenced by woe
But now I’ve found this day
I’m leaving nothing in my way
I feel my soul re-awaken
My last chance taken

Just believe in me, angel
We can make it together
If we just have faith, this can last forever
Please believe me, baby
I can’t do this alone
But with a queen by my side, I can take this throne

Wanna take you home
Got a castle in the sky
You put the steam in my stride
You’re the light in my eye

I can see so clearly
Hear it falling into place
I feel a new dawn rising
When I look upon your face

Alright?
Am I alright?
I’ve never felt so alive!
Don’t look so frightened, girl,
I think I’ve finally arrived

Just take my hand
Everything will be fine
All we need is each other
And together we’ll shine

You can trust me, I swear
All I need is a chance
I don’t want to be your devil
All I want is to dance

So it’s now or never
Come embrace our fate
Two souls untethered
And the world can wait
