Dear Stranger,

Found the string to pull the parachute
Just before I hit the ground, I stopped and thought of you
Oh, what a lovely view when you're not dyin'
Letting go of you is terrifyin'

I think the Sun has parted with the clouds (ah-ah, ah-ah)
They finally put their differences behind them for a while (ah-ah, ah-ah)
And I can feel the heat kissing my skin (woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I can feel the blood rushing back in (ah)

Hello again, dear stranger, hello again
I hope you know I've missed ya, how have you been?
I've been pretty bad, but I am coming back, and
I'll be seeing you again

I said some things to you I did not mean
I promised more than I should have and ruined everything (ah-ah, ah-ah)
But yesterday, oh, yesterday is gone (woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Heaven only knows the time I've lost

Hello again, dear stranger, hello again
I hope you know I've missed ya, how have you been?
I've been pretty bad, but I am coming back, and
I'll be seeing you again

I am not the same, I will not be the same again
Don't go looking for the girl you loved, her innocence is dead
And I buried all my sin inside a casket in a grave
Here lies someone almost famous, who gave up everything

Hello again, dear stranger, hello again
I hope you know I've missed ya, how have you been?
I've been pretty bad, but I am coming back, and
I'll be seeing you—
I've been pretty bad, but I am not as sad, and
I'll be seeing you again
