Stranger

Planes and trains took you away Were 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 With the fear that you'd escape My contradictions 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 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
