Talking to Strangers Lyrics by The Shakes

Talking to Strangers

2019

I was on the outside kicking it for a bit
Fucking around for the thrill of it
Only to find myself digging deeper, but I couldn’t find the help
Talking to strangers, boy I’m in danger
I’ve become somebody I despise
Don’t chastise me, I’ve been going through hell
I’ll say it twice
I’ve been going through hell
I’ve been going through hell
[Chorus]
Having trouble sleeping, every single weekend
Why does it hurt to exist?
You’re the only reason that’s got me believing in a life that’s brighter than this
My feelings and drinks are mixed with a couple of pills and a pack full of cigs
Feeling like a kid again, veins full of adrenaline
My fingertips are tingling
Can’t feel myself breathing in, oh
Take my hand we can go somewhere far
‘Cause I don’t like talking to people that don’t know who we are but
I don’t mind talking to you
[Chorus]
And now I’m having trouble sleeping, changing through the seasons
Why does it hurt to exist?
You’re the only reason that’s got me believing in a life that’s brighter than this
Oh
I’ve been going through hell
