Stranger

How you gettin' home? You're all alone It's a big world out there Wow, you're doing well, for yourself I know you don't see my stare And all I really wanted from you was a chance to get up Just so I could try and try and try again I love it when you take it in the ways I'm not expecting, not addressing after 'cause what's the risk, anymore? Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange? Oh, all the days How you gettin' by? A nine-to-five Is one-third of your life you're losing I know, I know it's hard, it's all a game But that's just the life we're choosin', it's proven To be a little innovative agent waiting, patiently insane But I can feel the day I'm gone Don't wanna be so complicated, so cliche And so impartial to the laws And how they say I'm wrong, so in love Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange? Maybe it's me They wanna see me go away I just wanna fly away We're gonna work it out They convinced that I'm a stranger, they Wanna see me go and die today We're gonna work it out They wanna cast me out Shoot me down Watch me bleed They wanna patch it up, apologize - That's not how it works I told you you're not a stranger I told you've we've met before I told you we'd meet again I told you I was unhappy And I told you I wasn't going to change I told you how hard everything had gotten And how close I'd gotten to the edge I told you I didn't know you anymore, you didn't love me And that's okay; the constellations didn't want that There's no point in hating someone or something if you can't change the end result You're sitting there alone writing, bingeing, fighting yourself, losing sight of what's real And all it takes is one person, one person that really cares Someone you've been watching a long time, admiring Even back in the civic days when you could talk to a million people, and still feel alone. All it takes is this one person to say the right thing, to stop feeling the way you'd thought you'd be for the rest of your life I told you - I told you I wasn't going to work I wasn't going to work We can't speak because I'm supposed to be alone I don't belong like the others I'm a stranger She looked at me and she told me I wasn't a stranger Just a friend I hadn't met yet
