Stranger (Stripped)

Cold water every morning

I shiver, it keeps me from falling

And wakes me from this dream within a dream

Cold water every evening

Seeing if my scars are healing

The only time of day I truly breathe

It fills my lungs so deep that I believe

I’ll do better

If I remember

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

To be kinder

To be wiser

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

We are not strangers

I follow footsteps every evening

For every mile, another meaning

For every painful breath, I move the stone

Didn’t you say when you were leaving

Maybe love’s just sex with meaning

And you’re the one who’s scared to be alone

Now these tired legs will carry me home

I’ll do better

If I remember

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

To be kinder

To be wiser

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

We are not strangers

Now that our roots run deep

Tangled up beneath the ground

I remind myself of that when you are not around

Now that our roots are deep

Tangled up beneath the ground (ooh)

I remind myself of that when you are not around

I’ll do better

If I remember

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

To be kinder

To be wiser

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

I’ll do better

If I remember

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

To be kinder

To be wiser

You’re not a stranger

I’m not a stranger

We are not strangers

We are not strangers
