Lyrics

Somewhere in a quiet little nook of this city Slipping into something That's a little less like a disguise You are not alone here Open up your eyes We cannot sleep We'll just hold our breath tonight Two strangers Hope don't matter It don't matter Time will pulse on And tomorrow will come and go Or at least I've been told so Two strangers Lost and lonely Only nightcap strange strangers Letting go of a dream Waking up from a dream Waking up from a half-remembered mid-November dream And somewhere out in Brooklyn You're alone and you're drinking Soaking up the feeling That you never felt nothing at all Whiskey makes you brood But that's your kind of mood Oh, we cannot sleep We'll just hold our breath tonight Two strangers Hope don't matter It don't matter Time will pulse on And tomorrow will come and go We'll be trudging through the snow Two strangers Lost and lonely Only nightcap strange strangers Letting go of a dream Waking up from a dream La da da da da da And then it's over Just another mistake done over There's no evidence here No mark or picture frame Just a name In a cell phone Stuck in my head Smelling boy in my empty twin bed Or maybe I'm just conjuring some romance I read This was not so magical You didn't impress me Not at all No No Not even a little bit You were something I wanted to try And we were happy For a while Just like in a dream one late night Tumbling toward winter In a perfect autumn luminescent light You held me tight That was all I ever could have asked for We'll just hold our breath tonight Two strangers Two strangers We cannot sleep We'll just hold our breath tonight Two strangers Hope don't matter It don't matter It don't matter Oh, oh... Lost and lonely Only nightcap strangers Lost and lonely Only nightcap strange strangers La da da di da da La da da di da da La da da di da da da da da da da da da da
