Dressing Like a Stranger - Luke Sital-Singh

Busy working hard, wrapped up in my job, we got bills to pay Lately, when we talk, it feels like I don't hear a single word you say Can we get back to the basics And find that young love and make it Tear down all these walls, ignore all of our calls, and just stay in Kiss me like a stranger Baby, hold me like we've never met Every touch, a little danger Like you ain't gotten used to me yet Strike a match, light the fuse You and I, we could use some reckless behavior So, baby, kiss me like a stranger Ooh Ooh Ooh Lightning on my skin Every touch remembering what you mean to me Let me reminisce my lips on your lips like a symphony You're playing on my heartstrings Kiss me like a stranger Baby, hold me like we've never met Every touch, a little danger Like you ain't gotten used to me yet Strike a match, light the fuse You and I, we could use some reckless behavior So, baby, kiss me like a stranger It's been a little crazy lately, come on and remind me, baby Well, girl, don't keep me waiting Come on over my way and lay it on me And kiss me like a stranger Baby, hold me like we've never met Every touch, a little danger Like you ain't gotten used to me yet Strike a match, light the fuse You and I, we could use some reckless behavior So, baby, kiss me like a stranger Ooh, won't you kiss me, won't you kiss me Won't you kiss me like a stranger Mmm, yeah, won't you kiss me like a stranger Ooh, I got plans for you, I got plans for you I got plans for you, I got plans for you Kiss me like a stranger I feel it now, ooh, I feel it now, ooh, I feel it now, ooh

The hardest part of letting go Of all the things I used to know Are the ghosts that stick around And they whisper so loud Should have tried a bit more I know You look like a stranger It's all so familiar Nothings the same as it used to be I wanna remember The way that things once were Now all that's left of you and me Are attempts to hide and disguise all the ashes and anger You look like a stranger All that we were meant to be Is feeling like a fever dream You were here and now you're gone All that's left here is a song we've never sung Could have tried a bit more I know You look like a stranger It's all so familiar Nothings the same as it used to be I wanna remember The way that things once were Now all that's left of you and me Are attempts to hide and disguise all the ashes and anger You look like a stranger Don't be so cold You're moving on I know But don't be so cold Don't be so cold We're better off I know But don't be so cold You look like a stranger It's all so familiar Nothings the same as it used to be I wanna remember The way that things once were Now all that's left of you and me Are attempts to hide and disguise all the ashes and anger You look like a stranger

Left on display, dust in the case Blank eyes direct the author Remember me, your final dream These nights are getting longer I'm watching You're waiting No more participating A sequence Of motions Captured in fleeting moments I'm in love with the edge of reality Skip ahead to the part where I feel complete I let the feeling of redemption get the best of me Hung in the storefront as a piece of modern history I'm a model in clay Watch me stay in one place As you walk through every open door I'm watching You're waiting No more participating A sequence of motions Capture in fleeting moments Stop right where you're standing Look at the size of the prints you tried to fill By walking taller Your pride makes the impression that you want You're getting stagnant Too old to be standing still I let the feeling of redemption get the best of me Hung in the storefront as a piece of modern history I'm a model in clay Watch me stay in one place As you walk through every open door

Some days I walk down the streets And no one notices me They're all too focused on living life through a screen That's not who I want to be I can't erase my own mistakes So I replaced my whole landscape I must confess my dirty secret I fucking love it Feel like a stranger Here in my own town All my friends probably think that I'm dead 'Cause I'm a stranger, I'm a stranger I disappeared for a while And came back wearing a smile I'm glad you noticed I'm sick of feeding machines That's not who I wanna be I don't regret the time I've spent Pretend I don't know where it went I must confess my dirty secret I fucking love it Feel like a stranger Here in my own town All my friends probably think that I'm dead 'Cause I'm a stranger, I'm a stranger Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I fucking love it Feel like a stranger Here in my own town All my friends probably think that I'm dead 'Cause I'm a stranger, I'm a stranger

You spend a hundred dollar bill as if it were a dime Seem so debonair while you sip your wine Brag about your escapades, to impress your best friend's wife Cos love remains a stranger in your life You try to cure your loneliness with expensive luxuries Your sense of values have been driven to their knees A chauffeur and a limousine, you're a rich man poor at heart Cos love remains a stranger in the dark Love remains a stranger Loneliness comes screaming from your eyes The truth, it hurts so bad you resolve to telling lies Cos love remains a stranger from the skies Love remains a stranger Love remains a stranger You spoke of having a woman once and how you made her bleed You're so into yourself you ignored her every need Oh, she bent over backwards to keep you but your ego made her crawl She left with a lonely stranger through it all Love remains a stranger Loneliness comes screaming from your eyes The truth, it hurts so bad you resolve to telling lies Cos love remains a stranger in disguise Love remains a stranger Love remains a stranger

Took it back in time Take it in your stride The mother in your mind Are you saving a life The tides are comin' in slow Everything is unknown Just need you at home You had every right I wanna be well but don't wanna try All I can hear is my daughter cry The weight of the sun is making me thin Burning my skin Wish I could see autumn The way I've been falling I wanna be free Carelessly me It's summertime low With everything golden It's hard to be open I'm missing your touch Not alone but enough To have a summertime low You know I'll never miss the smell Of your obvious tell Or your shit magic spells The stars do not care Wish I could see autumn The way I've been falling I wanna be free Carelessly me It's summertime low With everything golden It's hard to be open I'm missing your touch Not alone but enough To have a summertime low I wanna be well but don't wanna try All I can hear is my daughter cry The weight of the sun is making me thin Burning my skin, wish I could hear All of the ways you sing in the dark Brutally honest but always harsh Weight of the world is breaking my back Where were you at? Wish I could see autumn The way I've been falling I wanna be free Carelessly me It's summertime low With everything golden It's hard to be open I'm missing your touch Not alone but enough To have a summertime low

You tried So try again You never know You've cried You'll cry again You bare your soul No one understands you're on your own You're not the only one who feels alone We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now It hurts It really hurts It's in your blood To give Yourself away For nothing much When no one understands you're breaking ground You're not the only one who can't be found We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now Any second now Any second now As sure as the night will cover your eyes As sure as the voices telling you lies Counting the days that never arrive Any second now As sure as the stones that slow you feet down As sure as the circles turning you round Always a piece that never gets found Any second now All of the time you thought you got close How hard it is to love those old ghosts You get the least but you give up the most Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning Any second now We know the feeling Just believe me It's nearly morning

Sweetheart, would you wake up today? I promise, you would recognise my face I wanna show you how I've grown in this place In this place I'm not alone and I know I'll be okay But it's always harder when the winter comes to stay When I can't help but remember all the words I'd never say And it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully Everything is taller these days Or maybe I feel smaller and time rushes away There's so much I could show you Oh, great grandchildren have been laughing Like we did when we were young Oh, I've been laughing like we did when we were young But it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully Oh, it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully Yeah, it's killing me that you're not here with me I'm living happily, but I'm feeling guilty Oh you won't believe the wonders I can see This world is changing me, but I'll love you faithfully

I'm still hoping It's ever coming Just tell me something Can I stop running? Yea, I broke through Walls to get back up to yours Now I am unglued Nothing left undone Light is coming on everywhere Something in the back of my mind Is running scared Time is running on year on year River ever rolling But I'm still standing here The hours soften The heavens open One look in your eye And I know, I know I'm almost home One look in your eye Light is coming on everywhere Something in the back of my mind Is running scared Time is running on year on year River ever rolling But I'm still standing here Rest assured my soul That everyone's restless It's been quite a fall for everyone You've got more than most So look above the sun Light is coming on everywhere Something in the back of my mind Is running scared Time is running on year on year River ever rolling But I'm still standing here Light is coming on everywhere Something in my mind is scared I'm still

Maybe there's another way around So we can live this upside down It's hard now for an honest man Is that what I am, an honest man? You're the kind who seems Too beautiful and out of reach For me, I'm in, I've got you underneath my skin I fall apart to look away is getting hard Maybe we could just let go And say "Yes" when the signs say "No" Breathe in, lean to kiss your lips Then my eyes eclipse and it all goes dark Oh, you're the kind who seems Too beautiful and out of reach For me, I'm in, I've got you underneath my skin I fall apart to look away is getting hard Oh, you're the kind who seems Too beautiful and out of reach For me, I'm in, I've got you underneath my skin I fall apart to look away is getting hard Maybe we could just let go And say "Yes" when the signs say "No" Breathe in, lean to kiss your lips Then my eyes eclipse and it all goes dark
