Strange Encounter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You'll only ever be the girl who just almost died in my house
Half naked, looking through your telephone
Run you a bath and try hard not to freak out
[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
[Chorus]
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
[Verse 2]
Wanna find somebody
But not like this
Yeah, I'm a decent person
Just a little aimless
[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
You'll only ever be the girl who just almost died in my house
Half naked, looking through your telephone
Run you a bath and try hard not to freak out
[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
[Chorus]
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
[Verse 2]
Wanna find somebody
But not like this
Yeah, I'm a decent person
Just a little aimless
[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
[Chorus]
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
