lyrics

Planes and trains took you away
Were never ending
Chasing with no consequence
Your new obsession
You always went alone
You never trusted anyone
How far will you go to forget where you're from?
Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
And I know the farther you go, I'll need you closer
Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own
With the fear that you'd escape
My contradictions
Could this be a lesson learned or all for nothing?
Oh, will I ever feel what I felt with anyone?
How far must I go to forget what I've done? (Yeah!)
Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
And I know the farther you go, I'll need you closer (I need you closer, closer)
Oh God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own
My own!
And you wonder how you'd ever fathomed how you would be content
Would the places that you traveled to someday be filled with friends?
That you threw away back home and said, you'd find them all again
Would I just be just like them?
A replacement in the end
Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger, a stranger
And I know the farther you go, I'll need you closer (I need you closer, closer)
Oh, God, I always felt like you were such a stranger a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own

AFTERMATH
by Belmont

supported by 9 fans who also own “Stranger (Country Cover)”

Aside from Country Girl, which displays the compositional and lyrical excellence of a nursery rhyme, this is a really fun and catchy pop punk album with emphasis on the modern pop stylings. I see Belmont as being the future of pop punk. But I'm also an old man so uhhhh X Wild Alaskan Salmonella X
