This is a song about people in relationships parting knowing little more about the other than when they first met. It's a sad state of affairs and there should be less of it.

lyrics

Strangers

I know you think I backslide and that
I've only got myself to blame
I know you think my excuses all
are mealy mouthed and lame
Get out of here, you said
You're no existentialist
You can't even get your head
Round a silly 'don't mean nothing' kiss

We've barely even boarded the bus
strangers at the station terminus
There hardly even was an 'us'
Strangers at the station terminus

I hear you say why not stimulate your mind
You wanna let it go to seed?
I hear you say try to organise your time
And fresh air's what you need
Get out of here, I yell
You're no psychoanalyst
You can't even see yourself
Why would you cry over a 'don't mean nothing' kiss?

We've barely even boarded the bus
strangers at the station terminus
There hardly even was an 'us'
Strangers at the station terminus
