A Stranger Song - Marit Larsen

Once there was a stranger

Living in my house

Some knew its hands, knew its mouth

I thought that I could love him

I thought we were the same

But the more I knew him

The stranger he became

And somewhere in the distance

Is the day that we met

Slowly moving in

To see how close we’d get

I’m right here at the ending

Just like I started out

With a stranger in my house

Once there was a stranger

Sleeping in my bed

Wrapped around my heart

Wrapped around my legs

I never thought his dreams

Would ever carry him away

Would spread in darkness

In sunlight off and fades

And somewhere in the distance

Is the day that we met

Slowly moving in

To see how close we’d get

I’m right here at the ending

Just like I started out

With a stranger, a stranger in my house

Once there was a stranger

Living in my house

I knew its hands, I knew its mouth
