Stranger in the House Lyrics

Come on, Come on, Ye sons and daughters
Taking a break in the wake of the aftermath
Forks on the road in a path for martyrs
You take the way that I take in another path

But there's a stranger in the house
There's a stranger in the house

You used to say that I once had a big head
Back in the day with the locker corner wall shared
I know I should control these thoughts
But it ended quick as it lasted
Ooh, so move past it

There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
Running as fast as I can now

You can bury it deep inside
Or you can settle for a different life
And this confession will change in time
but in a postcard from the countryside
Remember coffee and Donkey Kong
And the lessons you've been teaching me all along

This is your song.

There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
Running as fast as I can now

Beginning of the End

Come on, Come on, Ye sons and daughters
Taking a break in the wake of the aftermath
Forks on the road in a path for martyrs 
You take the way that I take in another path

But there's a stranger in the house
There's a stranger in the house

You used to say that I once had a big head
Back in the day with the locker corner wall shared  
I know I should control these thoughts
But it ended quick as it lasted
Ooh, so move past it

There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
Running as fast as I can now

You can bury it deep inside 
Or you can settle for a different life
And this confession will change in time 
but in a postcard from the countryside
Remember coffee and Donkey Kong
And the lessons you've been teaching me all along

This is your song.

There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
There's a stranger in the house
And I'm running as fast as I can now
Running as fast as I can now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
