Stranger
David Bazan
Got my hopes up pretty high
At an indoor-outdoor roller skating rink
For someone else to feel the heat with
Holding hands around the couple skate
Two-by-two, they shuffled out
To a slow song that still takes my breath away
Leaving me solo at the snack bar
Eating my shame
Now you're the stranger
Displaced, unknown
Trying to locate yourself
In someone else's home
On someone else's bones
This loneliness conditioned you to think
That it's virtuous to suffer quietly
Never dreamed it'd be forever
Or hurt this way
Now you're the stranger
Displaced, unknown
Trying to locate yourself
In someone else's home
On someone else's bones
I wanna go home now
I wanna go home
