Less of a Stranger

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Never gonna know you 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 [Chorus] Don't want her to change Pick apart, or rearrange her Oh, I just wish my own mother was Less of a stranger [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] Don't want her to change She's always been the entertainer Oh, I just wish my own mother was Less of a stranger [Verse 3] 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? [Chorus] Sometimes I wonder, do I intimidate her? Do my questions and my pain Take like skin to a razor? Don't want her to change Or feel bad for life's remainder Oh, I just wish my own mother was Less of a stranger
