Hey stranger,
It'd be nice to know your name
Waiting on our nightly train
We trade glances everyday

And I can't help but imagine how I'd mess it up if I said: Hey
But I wanna know you all the same
Hey stranger, it'd be nice to know your name

Hey stranger,
I notice every book you read
You finish them so fast
I could never match that speed

So I can't even find a way to start a conversation with
Hey I've read that one too
But I wanna know you all the same
Hey stranger, it'd be nice to know your name

I'm a coward in sheep's clothing
'Cause I watch and wait and hope and pray
And all the hours we spent seats apart, I could have tested fate
I'm a fool who watches you get off at the stop before mine
I'll see you tomorrow,
But as you go we catch each other's eyes

Hey stranger,
Before you hopped off the train
Why did you wave?
Why'd you wave at me with a smile on your face?

'Cause my heart is doing cartwheels
And there's a fuzzy feeling in my brain
And I wanna know you all the same
Tomorrow it'd be nice to catch your name
I wanna know you all the same
Hey stranger, it'd be nice to know your name
