Lyrics

Strange to Be Here

Somebody crawled in the bathtub, waiting for you
It's so strange to be here, holding the view
Somebody crawled in the bathtub, waiting for you
It's so strange to be here

It's so strange to be here
Split into two
It's so strange to be here
Fading for you
It's so strange to be here
Split into two
It's so strange to me

I, I pulled apart my threads I pulled apart my breath
Address the same rundown
I, I pulled apart my threads I picked apart my breath

It's so strange to be here
Split into two
It's so strange to be here
Fading for you
It's so strange to be here
Split into two
It's so strange to me

Crash onto my shoulder
Shock detainer
Let me lie harder
One last hour
One cold hour
One last hour
One last hour

It's so strange to be here
Split into two
It's so strange to be here
Fading for you
It's so strange to be here
Split into two
It's so strange to me
