STRANGER – Words and Lyrics by Ben Kunder

No one told me,
How hard this would be,
Like learning how to swim,
By being thrown right in,

Wake up early,
Before the day comes,
I want to go outside,
And bury all my pride,

I went searching for the stranger,
You were calling me back home,
Thought I went looking for salvation,
I just wanted to be alone,

This worn down city,
Has got me thinking,
If I pick up and leave,
Will you remember me?

Your clothes are lying,
Out on the pavement,
Kids ride their bikes so fast,
You’re naked on the grass,

I went searching for the stranger,
(No one told me, how hard this would be)
You were calling me back home,
(Wake up early, there’s so much to see)
Thought I went looking for salvation,
(Worn down city, ahs got me on my knees)
I just wanted to be alone,
(If I could just pick up and leave)

For your love,
I would leave the words unspoken,
For your love,
I would live inside my head,
For your love,
I would fight ‘til I was broken,
For your love, for your love,
For your love, for your love.
