Noah And The Whale - Stranger Lyrics






Last night I slept with a stranger
For the first time, since you've gone
Regretfully lying naked, I reflect on what I've done
Her leg still forced inbetween mine, sticking to my skin
Stroking my chest and my hair, head resting below my chin
I'm a fox trapped in the headlights
and I'm waiting, for the tyres to spin over me

Cos everything I love has gone away
Oh, cos everything I love has gone away

Oh the dark night is moving slower, and sleep wont rescue me
Leaving me here to suffer, this shameful misery
So I long for a taste of freedom, or at least freedom from this bed
Silently picking up my clothes, I turn on my heels and I fled
And the dark of the street is no solace to me
Oh and I don't believe my conscience, will ever be clear again

Cos everything I love has gone away
Oh, cos everything I love has gone away

You know in a year, it's gonna be better
You know in a year, I'm gonna be happy

    The first beep was just for amateurs. The second one made me feel as though I'd gone into cardiac arrest and I was being shocked. That was great.

  73. E.... ....

    Only after the song did I read the comments. I thought someone had somehow planted an explosive in my room and I was going to die imminently. I still stayed behind to listen to the song.

    E.... ....

    I didn't hear a beep?

  74. s.... ....

    I'm prepared for this beep!

  77. J.... M....

    This song saved my life... The last verse was playing whilst I was dealing with the breakup with my girlfriend I was eager to kill myself and as I was struggling to breath and feeling my life go from me I heard the line: You know in a year it's gonna be better, You know in a year I'm gonna be happy. I realized how stupid I was. Not only are Noah And The Whale my life, but they saved my life <3

  94. R.... W....

    LOL, I had a paper clip on my head phones so I could clip it to my shirt collar at work and listen to music. I just now broke/removed my paper clip because I thought it was causing interference with the music. And then, read the comments. Now i gotta find another paperclip.

  95. E.... R....

    i started reading the comments and was like "what beep?" then two seconds later it beeped and my heart skipped a beat ! yikes.
