Can't Swim - Stranger 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 contradiction
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?

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'll 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
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'll 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

    3DDuDeRuLeZ It sounds like its about someone leaving and traveling a lot just to escape from a problem(s). It seems like the person may never have truly cared about anyone. I'm guessing maybe its about a family member and this person is a stranger because they're never around.
