Lyrics
I remember when you told me
I recall the moment when you informed me
at least I didn't fake it.
At least I was genuine and didn't pretend
well, I didn't ask for consolation.
I didn't seek comfort or sympathy
at the same bar, but we're in different constellations
We are in the same physical place (bar), but emotionally distant or different
drag my cigarette, blow some smoke
Inhale from my cigarette, exhale smoke for the purpose of conversation
for conversation.
Using smoking as a conversational prop
Isn't it amazing?
Expressing awe or disbelief in a positive way
That sparkle I gave you,
Referring to a special quality or charm given to you
I saw it in your eye.
Observing that special quality in your eyes
I didn't know you'd saved it.
Unaware that you preserved or held onto it
I didn't think you'd save it.
Didn't expect you to keep it
Isn't it amazing?
Expressing amazement again
A thrill, a baby
A source of excitement or pleasure, possibly a person
a new thing for holding
Something new worth holding onto
oh yes, oh maybe
Acknowledging uncertainty or hesitation
don't blame me
Don't hold me responsible
for asking again
Repeating the inquiry
Made a move to move on
Took action to move forward
When the party lost its favour
When the enjoyment or approval of the gathering declined
Just one thing left to ask you
Only one question remains
have you always been a stranger?
Have you always been a stranger?
have you always been a
A thrill, a baby
Repeating the earlier theme of excitement or pleasure
a new thing for holding
Reiterating the idea of something new worth holding
oh yes, oh maybe
Expressing uncertainty or hesitation again
the sun tells the morning
The sun signifies the beginning of the day
these days
Reference to current times or circumstances
And I just have one thing left to ask you:
Pose one final question
have you always been a stranger?
Repeating the key question about being a stranger
have you always been a stranger?
Repeating the question for emphasis
have you always been a stranger?
Repeating the question once more
