[Verse 1]
Skin in marble from the cool water
(You can tell the truth
I swear I won't be mad at you)
Feel my hair swirling in the pool
(I'm drowning out the room
I've got such a bad attitude)
[Chorus]
Oh, she's the perfect stranger
Oh, oh
She's the perfect stranger
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, ‘cause she's the perfect stranger
Oh, oh
‘Cause she's the perfect stranger
[Verse 3]
She's the phosphorescence you could never touch
But you keep running your hands
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
[Bridge]
Oh, always in your eye line
Never in your heart
Never quite enough
Oh, always on the decline
Never looking up
Never quite enough
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
