Sleeping With a Stranger
Matthew Perryman Jones
[Verse 1]
Caught in a wildfire
Choking on the flames of a strange pyre
The ashes of a dream
Feed the fantasy
Locked on the inside
Tangled up in chains
And the crazy lies
Terrified and tame
In silence we escape
[Chorus]
Kiss my heart awake
We're so far away
I'm sleeping with a stranger
[Verse 2]
Lonely and tongue-tied
All is out of place
And the words you hide
Are written on your face
I'm lifting up the lace
[Chorus]
Kiss my heart awake
We're so far away
I'm sleeping with a stranger
Oh, kiss my heart awake
We're so far away
I'm sleeping with a stranger
[Bridge]
Come back to me
Stop whispering
Have we fallen far too deep?
[Chorus]
Kiss my heart awake
We're so far away
I'm sleeping with a stranger
Oh, kiss my heart awake
We're so far away
I'm sleeping with a stranger
