Stranger Lyrics - First Days Of Spring - Noah & The Whale

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 in between mine, sticking to my skin 

Stroking my chest and my hair, head resting below my chin 

I'm a fox trapped in the headlights 

Oh, and I'm waiting for the tires to spin over me 

'Cause everything I love has gone away 

Oh, 'cause everything I love has gone away 

Oh, the dark night is moving slower, oh, and sleep won't 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 turned 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 

'Cause everything I love has gone away 

Oh, 'cause 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 

You know in a year it's gonna be better 

You know in a year I'm gonna be happy 

You know in a year it's gonna be better 

You know in a year I'm gonna be happy 

You know in a year it's gonna be better 

You know in a year I'm gonna be happy 

You know in a year it's gonna be better 

You know in a year I'm gonna be happy
