So Friday night, Holy Ghost
Take me to your level
Show me the one I need the most
I need the most

Two strangers in the bright lights
Oh, and I hope you don't mind
We can share my mood, yeah
Two strangers in the bright lights
I wish I knew you
I wish I knew you
Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young
