Planes and trains took you away

We're never ending

Chasing with no consequence

Your new obsession

You always went alone

You never trusted anyone

How far will you go to forget where you're from?

Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger

And I know the farther you go, I'll need you closer

Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger

From a tale of a life that I once called my own

For with the fear that you'd escape

My contradiction

Could this be a lesson learned?

Or all for nothing

Oh, will I ever feel what I felt with anyone?

How far must I go to forget what I've done?

YEAH

Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger

And I know the farther you go, I'll need you closer

I need you closer, closer

Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger

From a tale of a life that I once called my own

And you wonder how you'd ever fathomed

How you would be content

Would the places that you traveled to

Someday be filled with friends?

That you threw away back home and said

You'd find them all again

Would I just be just like them?

A REPLACEMENT IN THE END

Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger

And I know the farther you go, I'll need you closer

I need you closer, closer

Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger

From a tale of a life that I once called my own
