Notes
Described by Jon:
A breakdown in communication song. Both me and my partner were doing a lot of… well, not respecting ourselves so much last year. And it's funny how you can lose communication with someone that close if you start thinking too much about yourself. Stranger was a tough time we went through. We came out the other side pretty well. - NZgirl.co.nz
Lyrics
The night goes on and on; it seems like it's forever Wish we were home instead of how it's turning out There's something you cannot explain The one thing that gets in the way Don't say the things you said Can't you see that way I made a mistake You've become a stranger to me now You kept it all inside Instead of letting it come out Loved saying i'll be there And knowing that you mean it We could go anywhere and never be apart There's something you cannot escape There's one thing you can never fake Don't say the things you said Can't you see that way I made a mistake You've become a stranger to me now You kept it all inside Instead of letting it come out Through all the lonely days And all the times that i spent waiting To finally be with you again Just to discover that you changed And things will never be the same You've become a stranger to me now You kept it all inside Instead of letting it come out Yeah, it's gone too far this time Yeah, you let it slip away Yeah, we've gone too far this time Things will never be the same
