lyrics

let me open up this door for you
and explore this tiny world with you
for as long as our eyes meet
on some random park street

allow me to demonstrate virtue
by not saying a word to you
and we'll both avoid tangles
and the heartbreak
and minds that we mangle

and we'll just be the dream stuff
that never gets messed up
and though you'll probably forget me
you'll never regret me

and if we just stay strangers passing
there won't ever be that sticky everlasting
or the trials that go right with it
and i won't ever have to be unforgiven
by anyone

and i can be
just a breeze
and aim to please

i could tell you that i'm different
and that i loved you when i saw you
i could tell you that i meant it
i could tell you that we're destined
and when we met it was all planned out in the heavens

but when you'd leave i'd be forgotten
just dropped down by a tree
and left there to be rotten
another soulless definition
of a human that forgot that life is all a competition

and if we just stay strangers passing
i won't have to remember how you looked when you were lauging
or how your eyes they got so glassy when you'd been drinking
or how far away you stared when you were thinking

Will Mitchell recommends:

Kind of Nice
by Julian Morena

Had the pleasure of helping produce this lovely record. Julian's music is perfect for a sunny morning or afternoon in your pajamas. If you like Paul Simon, Sufjan or Cat Stevens - give it a spin. Will Mitchell

Fire Bell
by Boo Reefa

This album and Semi-Rose are both must-listens. Offbeat, colorful, and true. The music is catchy and perfect for fans of interesting vocals such as Eels, Modest Mouse, and Pixies. Will Mitchell

Way Gone
by Will Stewart

Will has developed his own style through the years, but he's had a sound since the first time I met him - and it continues to this day. For fans of Father John Misty, Lord Huron, and Tom Petty. Will Mitchell
