Perfect Strangers
Cairobi Lyrics

The lyrics of Cairobi's song, Perfect Strangers, convey a sense of adventure and a desire for connection with someone new. The singer expresses a longing to go to a new place with this person, and hopes that they will allow the opportunity for discussion and companionship. The lyrics also suggest an open-mindedness on both sides, with the singer expressing that there is nothing they need to prove to the other person, but they both may benefit from the ability to do their own thing.

The lyrics also contain a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability. The repetition of "If you let me" reinforces the idea that the singer is seeking permission to move forward and pursue the connection. The line "It's nothing if you walk back" suggests that there is a fear of rejection, but a willingness to accept and move forward regardless. The reference to "Falling in the water" can be interpreted as a metaphor for taking a risk and the possibility of the unknown, but willingness to take that chance for the possibility of something special.
