This Stranger Lyrics

I'm gonna build a strange city overcome
Mad as any and anyone
Who wants to wish upon me

I will take a city and it will take the rain
Anybody who sees this face
Will have to blink at this

Strange heart
This stranger

Everbody's angel and everbody's friend
Everybody who came around
Will come around again

I will stake this city and it will take the soil
Anybody who sings me
Will know the trouble's been a

Strange heart
This stranger

Where's yours sincerely, where you say you'll be?
I still wrapped in this restless night
Yes, it still comes back to me

Everybody's favoured and everybody's day
'cause everytime I see your face
I can see your

Strange heart
This stranger

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.
