About This Track

'Strangers' by Patrick Watson is an alternative track from the album 'Love Songs for Robots' (2015). The lyrics speak in the language of inner occupants and shifting identities, returning to the image of “strangers” that live in the mind and trail behind everyday movement. There is a sense of constant wondering, and of relationships being haunted, with the strains of morning intimacy turning into something that tears. The song’s tension is driven by the question of whether these hidden presences can ever properly meet, or whether they only endure as private obstacles, wanting someone else while you move on.

"Strangers" is a track by Patrick Watson, from the album Love Songs for Robots, released 11th May 2015. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Patrick Watson.

Lyrics

Strangers

Oh, all the strangers

That live in your head

All the strangers

You're walking with

Do they pass you by on the street

Always wonder if they'll ever meet

All the strangers

Hiding in hands

That hold you in the morning but they tear you apart

All they want is somebody else

But are they breaking you, breaking you down?

All the strangers

Whisper in your ears

All the strangers

That loved you all these years

Do you keep your hands in the air

Just in case there's somebody there?

Do you keep your hands in the air

Just in case they fall down, fall down there

All the strangers

Live in the stars

Grow lonely in the evening

Wishing down on us

Do you keep your hands in the air

Just in case they fall down there?

All the strangers

All the strangers

Are you breaking apart on the seams

Always wondering if there's somebody else for me

Are you breaking apart again?

Are you breaking apart again?

Do you keep your hands in the air

Just in case you fall down forever?

Do you keep your hands in the air

Just in case you fall down

Fall down there

Fall down there

Fall down there

Fall down there

Don't count the rules that tell you something

Don't count the rules that tell you something

Don't count the rules that tell you something

Don't count the rules that tell you something's wrong

Cause I'm gonna push

And I'll pull back

I guess that's what our love's all about

These are the words that hurt each other

These are things you wanna tell your lover

These are the things that break each other

These are things you're holding onto

Cause I'm gonna push

And I'll pull back

I guess that's what our love's all about
