Lyrics:
I’ve been walkin’ down Broadway
Thinking about making new memories
And everything in me is falling into pavement cracks
This stranger’s hand that I’m holding
I can’t explain the connection
All I know, all I know, it feels like home
I can carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
But my heart has no protection
The silence that we’re sharing feels like perfection
So if you listen you can feel it
Feel my heartbeat in your hand
This joy feels good in such a cynical man
So raise a glass to the beautiful unknown
Be prepared to undress your soul
We just met but we’re old friends
That’s how life is and how it should end
I don’t mean no disrespect but I did not hear one word you said
Sitting at the bar looking in your eyes
Your heart is in my head
If only, if only you knew all the plans I’ve been makin’
I don’t think you’d call me crazy
I’d kiss you right where you stand
The lights go on it’s not polite
Outside this bar it’s getting bright
I’m gonna walk you home but I don’t want to let you go
Courage from the Dutch but not too much
Yeah we shared some stories
I’m letting go of everything that hurt me before
Raise a glass to the beautiful unknown
Be prepared to undress your soul
We just met but we’re old friends
That’s how life is and how it should end
When something flows (I’m out of my mind)
It grows (My mind)
It grows (My mind)
It grows, yeah (La la la la la)
So raise a glass to the beautiful unknown
Be prepared to undress your soul
We just met but we’re old friends
That’s how life is and how it should end
