Stranger Lyrics

We're walking in a curved line into something new
The birds are watching every step I take
Beneath the stars, beneath the moon there is a hole
It's covered up in darkness and fear

But then there is something moving against me
It's not in line with what I know
Changing the heart
Changing the spirit
Changing my path
Changing my soul

My sight is clear the colors are expanding
I don't drown in the mirror on the wall
There is no time, there is no face, there is no me
I'm following a shadow while I'm reaching for the sun

But then, you tell me I shouldn't worry
You tell me to stay strong
You tell me I shouldn't worry
Why is this stranger in sync with my heart?

I tip toe here I don't want you to see me
I'm listening
I'm stolen by every word you say
A dream is pulling out my heart and spirit
And I'm scared to fall, I'm scared of death
And I am scared of all the lies

But then you tell me I shouldn't worry
You tell me to stay strong
You tell me I shouldn't worry
We live now, let's live now, as we won't live for long

Beneath the stars, beneath the moon there is a hole
It's covered up in darkness and fear

But then there is something moving against me

Changing the heart
Changing the spirit
Changing my path
Changing my soul

You tell me to stay strong
You tell me I shouldn't worry
We live now, let's live now, as we won't live for long

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.
