Comfort Of Strangers

Beth Orton


I know the stars that shine on me, 
Are brighter than you or I could ever be. 
I know there's an answer to your question, 
But I don't if I could word it right. 

Say what you mean, 
Don't tell it like it could be, 
I'm not sure that I should say it out loud, 
Say what you mean, 
Don't tell it like it could be, 
Right at this time, I'm gonna keep that in mind 

One love, is better than not enough 
I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff 

Just the comfort of strangers 
Always the comfort of strangers 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. 

I know the sun that shines on me, 
Has better times than you or I could ever be, 
I know there's an answer to the question, 
and I'm not sure that I should word it right, 

Say what you mean, 
Don't tell it like it could be, 
Everytime your gonna set me free, 
Say what you mean, 
Don't tell it like it could be, 
Right this time, let's take it right home to see 

One love is better than not enough 
I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff, 
It's just the comfort of strangers 
Oh it's the comfort of strangers 

Why, some of those are like best friends, best friends, 
Ones that keep you coming round again
