[Verse 1]
At a night time washstand you were staring me down
You had me so embarrassed
And this restaurant crowd is oh, so loud
Your face had been crying
You were ravaged by jealousy
You said, "look what love has done to me"
We can slip out the back right now if you want to save me

[Pre Chorus]
Cause I know, you know, I know, you want me
You start to haunt me I feel that danger
You like holding on to the company of strangers

[Verse 2]
She said promise not to kill me and maybe I will let you in
Her apartment's cold as a mace can
She said I just want to get it I don't need to understand
I said show me your true face
And she said "I'd rather wear a blindfold"
Truth be told I want a robot
A robot heart is all I want

[Pre Chorus]
If you're the one who knows me best
So tell me why
Why do I feel so, so, so, so, so, so depressed
I want to live a life of danger

[Chorus]
I like holding on to the company of strangers
(You are the one who knows me best)
I like holding on to the company of strangers
(You are the one who knows me best)
I like holding on to the company of strangers
(You are the one who knows me best)

[Bridge]
In your eyes what you see
Is what you want me to be
So that's what I will be
What you want me to be
That's what I will be
What you want me to be

[Verse 3]
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck-a
Fuck away the emptiness
Until you get caught
In the loving arms of a robot
A robot heart is all you got

[Pre Chorus]
But you're the one who knows me best
Tell me why
Why do I feel so, so, so, so, so, second best
I wanna live a life of danger

[Chorus]
I like holding on to the company of strangers
(You are the one who knows me best)
I like holding on to the company of strangers
(You are the one who knows me best)
I like holding on to the company of strangers
(You are the one who knows me best)

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
