Pavement - spit on a stranger

노래는 서로 상처를 주고받는 복잡한 관계를 다룬다
화자는 상대방의 감정과 실체를 곰곰이 고민하며, 두 사람의 연결 고리를 다시 바라본다
이들은 서로를 이해하고 끌어당기는 매력을 느끼면서도 여전히 '쓴' 관계에 놓여 있다

However you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits
Whatever you need, however so slight
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right
I've been thinking long and hard
About the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
And now I see the long and short
The middle and what's in between
Well, I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out)
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)
Whatever you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
Whatever you need, however so slight
Wherever it leads, whenever it's right
Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch
And we're a perfect match
Like two bitter strangers
And now I've seen the long and short of it
And I could make it last
Well, I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out)
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)
Well, I could spit on a stranger, pull me out
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)
