[Verse 1]
You're some kind of machine that won't go away
I still don't know why I brought
So, I walk with my feet to the nearest factory
Although I know that they won't have what I need
Well I toss and I turn from the things I couldn't learn
In a room filled with books they put in front of me
They put my hope and my pride in an urn on the side
Of a road they said no one will ever go, well now I know
[Chorus]
When strangers come to your house
Is there something that they'll figure out?
Isn't it a shame what they've done to this life
When they're taking off all your clothes
Is there something that they won't know?
Nothing's the same as it is in the light
It's not impossible, right?
[Verse 2]
I keep you on my back like a friend I used to have
And I'll keep you there until you grow tired of me
That's the way it's always been, you lose more than you win
Well that's one thing, I'll surely never understand
Well I keep turning my back and I can't seem to relax
You know I'm scared as hell to let you get close to me
I guess you'll see
[Chorus]
When strangers come to your house
Is there something that they'll figure out?
Isn't it a shame what they've done to this life
When they're taking off all your clothes
Is there something that they won't know?
Nothing's the same as it is in the light
It's not impossible, right?
[Bridge]
When I come home alone
It's nothing you've done wrong
When you wish that I cared, I'll say I cared all along
What can I say, when all I do
Is run before you'll prove me wrong
You'll prove me wrong
[Outro]
Strangers love like it's some kind of reward
They'll never know what I mean
Strangers love like it's some kind of reward
They'll never know what I mean
Strangers love like it's some kind of reward
They'll never know what I mean
Strangers love like it's some kind of reward
They'll never know what I mean
Strangers love like it's some kind of reward
They'll never know what I mean
Strangers love like it's some kind of reward
They'll never know what I mean
