Stranger

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 (ooh)
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
