Emma Pollock - Letters To Strangers lyrics

Who do you want to be today? Choose another person Ask yourself the question How do you think he likes to dress? Is he looking out for someone to impress? Or is he just a loner? Don't you travel far from home Just reinvent the places Avoid the known faces These are the streets that you expected you'd outgrown But you're only around the corner from home And today you're not from around here Today you've never been here Today it's all so new here And take the blindfold off now that we're stuck And let you out the car without a frock Just come back to me You're shedding your own skin today You're shedding your own skin today left behind in corner The secrets and the mourners That isn't the life for an honorable man So you're trying on the life of one who can Call himself a hero So walk a different street today Just because you can do and nobody will know you And if a pa**erby stops to say hello You'll just tell them you really don't know How the hell you got here How the hell you got here You know just how you got here I'll drop you on a street the way we planned And let you play the part of this new man Just come back to me Who do you want to be today? Don't you travel far from home Now won't you stay Who do you want to be today? Don't you travel far from home Now won't you stay You're shedding your own skin today
