Be it as it may we are alone
Found ourselves in trouble on the telephone
Having sweet talk with another

When you overheard
Found ourselves making up
Before we'd learnt

Say it to me you don't believe it's true
We can be ourselves even when we're on the move
Tell me straight if you believe the same
Or you're not allowed *show me

We are playing
At being strangers

How are we to keep it from your family
There'll be trouble when we tell them and they disagree
They can put the squeeze on the way we feel
Wrap it up and make us a raw deal

Pre-hook
*tell me

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus x 2

If you find yourself in need of someone's hand
To hold on - to hold onto
If you find yourself in trouble with your mind
Be strong - be stronger

Hey stranger will you come with me tonight
When we pillow talk we'll know if it's right
Hey stranger will you give it a try
We might find that we can dig beneath the ice

If you wonder when your life is set to start
Be calm - go easy
If you're good to me then everything will fall

In place - in time

I am sane
I am just like you
Underneath what you see
We're alike

We are similar
And we're older than our years

Given hope
Minutes too late
To hold onto
So sorry to waste
Slowly we fade

In our lives

We are underneath
Only inches away
On the surface
We seem regular
If you only spend the time

We're alike

We are similar
And we're older
Than our years
