Staring Stranger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yes
I was thinking 'bout
the time when I was dead
I was passive, bored,
you know
I lived my life
in a shell
Now
I'm shooting off again,
and it feels good
Just thinking about
the good times
Cause my love,
I know you're just
a staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
I know you're just
a staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel
I know time
was getting late,
but not in my mind
Never asked you,
just jump up
And let my life die,
when I was thinking
about the love
That I have made,
the love
that I have lost
Many days
and days and days
Oh well
I know you're just
a staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
I know you're just
a staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel
Cause my love,
I know you're just
a staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
I know you're just
a staring stranger
You fill up my holes
You make me feel safe
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
