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

Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own
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

Oh God I always felt like you were such 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
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
And I know the farther you go I'll need you closer
Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own
