How you gettin' home? You're all alone
It's a big world out there
Wow, you're doing well, for yourself
I know you don't see my stare
And all I really wanted from you was a chance to get up
Just so I could try and try and try again
I love it when you take it in the ways
I'm not expecting, not addressing after
'Cause what's the risk, anymore?
Isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
Oh, all the days
How you gettin' by? A nine-to-five
Is one-third of your life you're losing
I know, I know it's hard, it's all a game
But that's just the life we're choosin', it's proven
To be a little innovative agent waiting, patiently insane
But I can feel the day I'm gone
Don't wanna be so complicated, so cliche
And so impartial to the laws
And how they say I'm wrong, so in love
Isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
Maybe it's me
They wanna see me go away
I just wanna fly away
We're gonna work it out
They convinced that I'm a stranger, they
Wanna see me go and die today
We're gonna work it out
They wanna cast me out
Shoot me down
Watch me bleed
They wanna patch it up, apologize -
That's not how it works
I told you you're not a stranger
I told you've we've met before
I told you we'd meet again
I told you I was unhappy
And I told you I wasn't going to change
I told you how hard everything had gotten
And how close I'd gotten to the edge
I told you I didn't know you anymore, you didn't love me
And that's okay; the constellations didn't want that
There's no point in hating someone or
Something if you can't change the end result
You're sitting there alone writing, bingeing,
Fighting yourself, losing sight of what's real
And all it takes is one person, one person that really cares
Someone you've been watching a long time, admiring
Even back in the civic days when you could talk to a million people,
And still feel alone.
All it takes is this one person to say the right thing,
To stop feeling the way you'd
Thought you'd be for the rest of your life
I told you -
I told you I wasn't going to work
I wasn't going to work
We can't speak because
I'm supposed to be alone
I don't belong like the others
I'm a stranger
She looked at me and she told me
I wasn't a stranger
Just a friend I hadn't met yet
