Lyrics

Well, I'm just a stranger, I'm only a walker
I guess I am human, but sometimes I feel
Like I'm only a ghost, like I'm only a wall
And if you come around, honey, I'll probably just follow you home
'Cause it's all that I know how to do
I was born by a body, I'll die by one too
And places ain't nothing if it ain't got you

And one day, I'ma be a steam boat, baby
One day, I can be a freight train lady
I'll roll down the river and the miles won't phase me
Oh, I wish I was better at being alone
Still, every night, I call you on the phone
Oh, I wish I was more than my skin and my bones

Lyrics continue below...

I've been arranging each of my movements
And all of my gestures and trying to fool myself
Into thinking that everything is small, that nothing has reason
I woke up and cried, a convulsion of honesty brought me to life
When I thought I was gone
But I can't put a lie in the mouth of a song

And one day, I'ma be a steam boat, baby
One day, I can be a freight train lady
I'll roll down the river and the miles won't phase me
Oh, I wish I was better at being alone
Still, every night I call you on the phone
Oh, I wish I was more than my skin and my bone
Oh, I wish I was more than my skin and my bone
