Dear Stranger

[Verse 1]
Sweet mother, kept me forever
Alone and safe in a room
Why would I ask for anything other?
Your world is all that I ever knew

[Verse 2]
Her hands pulling me closer
Her eyes all heavy and cold
Oh, oh, she said I keep you from danger
Oh, oh, I'm your careful protector

[Chorus]
All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside, leaving with nothing
Under the surface, I am a stranger
What else to become?
No one else to become

[Verse 3]
The last time, you tell me it simple
I keep it in the back of my mind
Oh, oh, she said now don't be a stranger
Oh, oh, just keep your head on your shoulders

[Chorus]
All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside, leaving with nothing
Under the surface, I am a stranger
What else to become?
No one else to become
