Less of a Stranger Lyrics
Never gonna know
The way that I want to
I'll never see you in the wild
You're never gonna see me through
The same eyes my friends do
Looking in from the outside
Don't want her to change
Pick apart or rearrange her
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
Less of a stranger
Ever since I left your body,
been a breathless fast swimmer
Slow on the sand
"Will the race bend back home?" You said
You hate being alone
Did you forget
The starting gun was in your hand?
Don't want her to change
She's always been the entertainer
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
Less of a stranger
When I look into the mirror,
I see my father
When I close my eyes,
I see you
When you look into the mirror,
does your father appear?
Eyes closed,
do you see your mother too?
Sometimes I wonder, do I
intimidate her?
Do my questions and my pain
take like skin to the razor?
Oh don't want her to change or feel bad
for life's remainder
Oh I just wish my mother was
Less of a stranger
The way that I want to
I'll never see you in the wild
The same eyes my friends do
Looking in from the outside
Pick apart or rearrange her
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
Less of a stranger
been a breathless fast swimmer
Slow on the sand
You hate being alone
Did you forget
The starting gun was in your hand?
Don't want her to change
She's always been the entertainer
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
Less of a stranger
I see my father
When I close my eyes,
I see you
When you look into the mirror,
does your father appear?
Eyes closed,
do you see your mother too?
intimidate her?
Do my questions and my pain
take like skin to the razor?
Oh don't want her to change or feel bad
for life's remainder
Oh I just wish my mother was
Less of a stranger
