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?

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

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
