Stranger - Can't Swim

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 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'll 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?

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'll 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
