Less Of A Stranger

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
 Oh, 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
 ♪
 Oh, 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 the razor?
 
 Oh, don't want her to change or feel bad for life's remainder
 ♪
 Oh, I just wish my own mother was less of a stranger
