Spit On A Stranger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
However you feel
Whatever it takes
Whenever it's real
Whatever awaits
Whatever you need
However so slight
Whenever it's real
Whenever it's right
I've been thinking long and hard about the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
And now I see the long, the short, the middle and what's inbetween
I could spit on a stranger
(Pour/pull me out)
You're a bitter stranger
(Pour me out)
Whatever you feel
Whatever it takes
Whenever it's real
Whatever awaits me
Whatever you need
However so slight
Wherever it leads
Whenever it's right
Honey I'm a prize and you're a catch
And we're a perfect match
Like two bitter strangers
And now I see the long
The short of it and I can make it last
I could spit on a stranger
(Pour me out)
You're a bitter stranger
(Pour me out)
I could spit on a stranger
(Pour me out)
You're a bitter stranger
(Pour me out)
I see the sunshine in your eyes
I'll try the things you'll never try
I'll be the one that leaves
You high... High... High
