Distant Stranger Lyrics by Closebye

Lucid News

2022

[Verse 1]
Distant for years
My body is at war
The stakes are low but I′m ashamed
We're both back in town
Kinda thought that you′d reach out
Drove by the greenhouse on the lake, nothing's changed

[Chorus]
The ground is swelling up from under
There's panic in the air and you′d
Rather be a distant stranger
Than wage another war you′d lose

[Verse 2]
I can't stop the car
I′m retracing the old scars
Circled the edge of Kessler park
As if I care
At least enough to grit my teeth and bear
Wake up feeling all the same

[Chorus]
The rivers drying up, we're older
There′s panic in the air and you'd
Rather be a distant stranger
Than wage another war you know, war you know you′d lose

[Outro]
Angel leaning on my shoulder
Sun is creeping in my room and
I'd rather be a distant stranger than wage another war I know I'd lose
