About the song
A one night stand in... yeah. You guessed it.
Lyrics
Goodnight stranger; lay your head to rest
and dream of places better than this.
Our gazes crossed paths just an hour ago,
no more than a question of "yes" or "no."
You speak in tongues and I speak in verses,
and all your blessings are all my curses.
Now I never want to see you again,
but I really want to know that I can
bounce my echoes across the tops of skyscrapers,
and find out just where you are
'cause time and tide have brought us this far.
Can I cross your mind again?
Good morning stranger. Were your dreams as sweet
as the kisses of the next harlot I meet?
We'll walk hands locked under our clear blue sky
and Tokyo notices but never asks why
you speak in tongues and I speak in verses
and all your blessings are all my curses.
I just want to breathe you in again
but now I know I never can
as the doors slam shut and you race past skyscrapers.
'Cause time and tide have brought us this far
but they can't tell me where you are.
Can I cross your mind again?
Goodnight stranger; lay your head to rest.
I hope you've found someplace better than this...
and dream of places better than this.
Our gazes crossed paths just an hour ago,
no more than a question of "yes" or "no."
You speak in tongues and I speak in verses,
and all your blessings are all my curses.
Now I never want to see you again,
but I really want to know that I can
bounce my echoes across the tops of skyscrapers,
and find out just where you are
'cause time and tide have brought us this far.
Can I cross your mind again?
Good morning stranger. Were your dreams as sweet
as the kisses of the next harlot I meet?
We'll walk hands locked under our clear blue sky
and Tokyo notices but never asks why
you speak in tongues and I speak in verses
and all your blessings are all my curses.
I just want to breathe you in again
but now I know I never can
as the doors slam shut and you race past skyscrapers.
'Cause time and tide have brought us this far
but they can't tell me where you are.
Can I cross your mind again?
Goodnight stranger; lay your head to rest.
I hope you've found someplace better than this...
