lyrics
Hey, stranger, I love you
Because I don't know you
I can only see you're bright,
cause when become casual
and your face is so usual I'll lose you
Your light flickered out
Some days I don't feel like talking
I wanna talk to you
But not everyone else too
So I'll hide my face, make my own space
and I'll love you
Your light is stronger than mine
So turn me on and dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Turn me on, dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Mine's not as bright as yours
Go on, tell me you love me
and all the things about me
That make you feel right
Cause when we get physical
And it becomes typical, I'll need you
I'll have burned out
So turn me on, and dim me down I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Turn me on, dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Hey stranger, come to me
Try not to see through me
Incandescent, half present
Fluorescent, my lament brings me here
Stay with me, dear
so you can turn me on, and dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Turn me on, and dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Mine's not as bright as yours
Because I don't know you
I can only see you're bright,
cause when become casual
and your face is so usual I'll lose you
Your light flickered out
Some days I don't feel like talking
I wanna talk to you
But not everyone else too
So I'll hide my face, make my own space
and I'll love you
Your light is stronger than mine
So turn me on and dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Turn me on, dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Mine's not as bright as yours
Go on, tell me you love me
and all the things about me
That make you feel right
Cause when we get physical
And it becomes typical, I'll need you
I'll have burned out
So turn me on, and dim me down I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Turn me on, dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Hey stranger, come to me
Try not to see through me
Incandescent, half present
Fluorescent, my lament brings me here
Stay with me, dear
so you can turn me on, and dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Turn me on, and dim me down, I can blow your fuse
Ride the wave, nothing to lose
Mine's not as bright as yours
