Can We Be Strangers

(album: Your Life Is A Record - 2020)

I'd've skipped that party
Yeah, I never would've gone
If I could see the future
I would've just stayed home
You'd be a name I didn't know
In some idle conversation
With a laugh I never loved
And lips I never tasted

I don't want to want you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to hate you
Or even care enough to
We struck out as lovers
We struck out as friends
Is it too much to ask
Can we be strangers
Again?

Sunny, Sunday mornings
Yeah, they wouldn't hurt so bad
Songs about New Orleans
Wouldn't make me so damn sad
You wouldn't be that number
I've deleted seven times
Or that hammer in my chest
When someone orders Crown and sprite

I don't want to want you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to hate you
Or even care enough to
We struck out as lovers
We struck out as friends
Is it too much to ask
Can we be strangers?

You don't miss some place you've never been
Some face that you ain't ever met
No, you don't have to remember
What you ain't ever had to forget

I don't want to want you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to hate you
Or even care enough to
We struck out as lovers
We struck out as friends
Is it too much to ask
Can we be strangers
Again?
Can we be strangers
Again?
Again?
