Can't Swim Stranger
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
