Less Of a Stranger lyrics

Never gonna know you The way that I want to I'll never see you in the wild You're never gonna see me through The same eyes my friends do Looking in from the outside Don't want her to change Pick apart, or rearrange her I just wish my own mother was Less of a stranger Ever since I left your body Been a breathless fast swimmer Slow on the sand Will the race bend back home? You said you hate being alone Did you forget the starting gun was in your hand? Don't want her to change She's always been the entertainer I just wish my own mother was Less of a stranger When I look into the mirror I see my father, when I close my eyes I see you When you look into the mirror Does your father appear? Eyes closed, do you see your mother too? Sometimes I wonder, do I intimidate her? Do my questions and my pain Take like skin to a razor? Don't want her to change Or feel bad for life's remainder I just wish my own mother was Less of a stranger
