Boy & Bear – Stranger lyrics
[Verse 1]
Old man, was it worth it?
Was it all that it seemed?
Did you ever find the carcass of your dreams?
Oh, you must know I was young
The fear I had not yet outrun
Oh, I was never meant to hurt you
But I do, oh, I do, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
It's got a hold of me
And it keeps coming away
[Chorus]
And you were always looking at me
From afar, I can't change, I'm a stranger to my nature
Would you love me anyway, If my head don't talk right
Don't let me down, old man
[Verse 2]
Through the swollen eyes of your Ritalin
It's like a stranger's standing over me
Some kind of faceless beast that watches as I sleep
Now, there's a hard lump in my throat
And all the best times that you've ever known
Are all just fading off the back of my sanity
Oh please, I made you weep
[Pre-Chorus]
It's got a hold of me
And it keeps coming away
[Chorus]
But you were always looking at me
From afar, oh, I'm in chains, I'm a stranger to my nature
Would you love me anyway, If my head don't talk right
Don't let me down, old man
[Outro]
I want it back
I left the seeds of a memory
And I wonder if I've come too far
Old man, was it worth it?
Was it all that it seemed?
Did you ever find the carcass of your dreams?
Oh, you must know I was young
The fear I had not yet outrun
Oh, I was never meant to hurt you
But I do, oh, I do, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
It's got a hold of me
And it keeps coming away
[Chorus]
And you were always looking at me
From afar, I can't change, I'm a stranger to my nature
Would you love me anyway, If my head don't talk right
Don't let me down, old man
[Verse 2]
Through the swollen eyes of your Ritalin
It's like a stranger's standing over me
Some kind of faceless beast that watches as I sleep
Now, there's a hard lump in my throat
And all the best times that you've ever known
Are all just fading off the back of my sanity
Oh please, I made you weep
[Pre-Chorus]
It's got a hold of me
And it keeps coming away
[Chorus]
But you were always looking at me
From afar, oh, I'm in chains, I'm a stranger to my nature
Would you love me anyway, If my head don't talk right
Don't let me down, old man
[Outro]
I want it back
I left the seeds of a memory
And I wonder if I've come too far
