Kiss Me
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.
The fire's dying out
All the embers have been spent
Outside on the street
Lovers hide in the shadows
You look at me
I look at you
There's only one thing
I want you to do
Kiss me
I want you to kiss me
Like a stranger
Once again
Kiss me like a stranger once again
I want to believe that our love's a mystery
I want to believe that our love's a sin
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
You wear the same kind of perfume
You wore when we met
I suppose there's something comforting
In knowing what to expect
But when you brushed up against me
Before i knew your name
Everything was thrilling
Because nothing was the same
I want you to kiss me
I want you to kiss me
Like a stranger once again
Kiss me like a stranger once again
I want to believe our love's a mystery
I want to believe our love's a sin
Oh, will you kiss me like a stranger once again
I want you to kiss me like a stranger
Kiss me like a stranger once again
