about
Stranger to a Stranger is a dreamy, nostalgic pop tune dealing with the complications of a love triangle, that moves between intimacy, love and affection in equal amounts to alienation, loneliness and despair.
lyrics
Once you had a heart to burn
For what's love
And what this world has in store
For good people
Caught in a bad situation
At times our heads crushed by the rules
Nothing that's mine
Can also be yours
We're good people
But we can't hide our desperation, no
What's a lie stuck in a pile
Of insincerities, say what's it to me if your
World hangs by its feet
After all you're a stranger
Betrayed by another stranger
If you can't take the heat
Best leave your flame to me
The cold spreads under your sheets
You're turning volatile
And you don't know why you feel
Like good people
Caught in a bad situation
Words like torches stuck in your throat
Go set fire to who you once loved
They're good people
But now you're out for your own sake boy
What's a lie stuck in a pile
Of insincerities, say what's it to me if your
World hangs by its feet
After all you're a stranger
Betrayed by another stranger
If you can't take the heat
Best leave your flame to me
For what's love
And what this world has in store
For good people
Caught in a bad situation
At times our heads crushed by the rules
Nothing that's mine
Can also be yours
We're good people
But we can't hide our desperation, no
What's a lie stuck in a pile
Of insincerities, say what's it to me if your
World hangs by its feet
After all you're a stranger
Betrayed by another stranger
If you can't take the heat
Best leave your flame to me
The cold spreads under your sheets
You're turning volatile
And you don't know why you feel
Like good people
Caught in a bad situation
Words like torches stuck in your throat
Go set fire to who you once loved
They're good people
But now you're out for your own sake boy
What's a lie stuck in a pile
Of insincerities, say what's it to me if your
World hangs by its feet
After all you're a stranger
Betrayed by another stranger
If you can't take the heat
Best leave your flame to me
