The Strangest Thing

from Fields & Fortresses [Album] by Anthony Retka

/

lyrics

Come on, dear
Listen here
I've got you where I need you

You look sad
From the feelings you had
Can't you just open up to

The things that break you down
And loneliness that follows you 'round

So, you confound
With sight and sound
And ask the strangest things

Who am I
To reply
And what good is the answer it brings

I hope you know
That when I go
It's not because I want to

If it's all the same
I can blame
The feelings that tell me I want you

I know it's extreme
But in every dream
You can just drift away

The walls might move
And you will disapprove
But it'll happen anyway

When you change your dress
Is it any less
Appealing than what's true

Just understand
What seems beyond your command
Is somewhere inside of you
