about

Demo single from I Am But A Stranger Here.

lyrics

I find comfort in your words the way that you find shelter in my arms, in my arms, in my arms
Make believe with me that one day all our paranoid insecurities will hurt me and you no more

So tell me baby,
Do you love me like the way that I love you?
Having secret thoughts in the middle of the night
Coming back to empty home,
where are the lights, lights, lights?
I've never felt so alone, normal people make me feel strange now
I find comfort in your habits

I can't help the way I move like branches on a tree when a cool breeze drifts by
You make up for it with your quirky dancing, midnight romancing, talk to me from the stars, baby
gracefully you know how to be

I’m thinking back on our winter walks, the backseat of your car,
I was lonelier back then
Cuz with you time is standing, time is still, if I hadn't met you then I be standing still?
Cuz you don't know me how I used to be
Thank god none of us are who we used to be, except in some ways

I'm feeling claustrophobic in your kitchen, I'm still learning how to listen
These walls are caving in, these walls are very thin,
and sorry I punched you in the mouth
You think I'm crass, I think you're rude,
and goddamn you for smelling so good
I find comfort in your habits

Stuck in heaven, stuck in hell,
nothing hurts worse than when I fell from your good graces
It hurts like if you quantified the metaphysical distance that I fell for you and turned it into a real physical distance like maybe 10 feet or 15 feet
And then you put me at the top of it and pushed me off of it and watched me fall face first and I try to get up and I trip over my feet and I sprain my ankle again

So baby, tell me,
Do you love me like the way I love you?
Having secret thoughts in the middle of the night
Coming back to an empty home,
where are the lights, lights, lights?
I've never felt so alone, normal people make me feel strange now
I find comfort in your habits

Something different about my feelings towards you, I'm feeling more for you,
Something I've never felt before
And I used to call bullshit on that saying but now I think I understand
Something different about the way you cut your hair
You are growing older, and I am growing older,
everything is changing, everything is aging,
can't do much about it but if I could I would freeze your heart cryogenically

So baby, tell me,
Do you love me like the way I love you?
Having secret thoughts in the middle of the night
Coming back to an empty home,
where are the lights, lights, lights?
I've never felt so alone, normal people make me feel strange love
I find comfort in your habits.

I am seeing more now, more of you...
