I wish there was a stranger
Sitting in this room
Our eyes could meet each other's
For the first time
Now it's just my family,
A bloodshot bride,
And a wasted groom.

Maybe there's an angel
Laughing at us now
Trying to tell us something
That we should've learned
We should have learned

Are you listening to me now?

I used to have this dream you know,
But I let it slip away,
Traded it for something
I knew I could have
But never really wanted

Are you listening to me now?

I wish I could say something
Instead of sitting here numb
I wish my mind, I wish my mind
Was not such a loaded gun

I wish I was a stranger
Sitting in this room
Our eyes could meet each other's
For the first time
But now it's too late for all that.
