Letra de ' Don’t Be a Stranger ' de Nervous Dater

There was a man reading self-help books
On a crowded subway train
And as I stared at the floor I thought it must be nice
To have that kind of mind frame

Read it cover to cover and soak up every thought
'Til you wake up one morning
And just get to be someone you're not

'Cause when things get quiet I feel uneasy
I need my friends, or at least just the sound of the TV
To keep these things in from screaming
You're inadequate, you're a piece of shit

You could run forever but you'd never get away with it
And if people really knew who you were
They'd probably cover up the ground that you walk on with spit

Don't be a stranger means stay away
As far away as you can
'Cause you're unstable
And that's all I need right now
How could you possibly understand?

And I dress just like I'm sixteen
And I still get way too drunk during the week
Still got too much on my plate
And none of ever makes me feel completed and I
Let my bills pile up as high as they can
It only took me 27 fucking years
To finally understand, and when she said

Don't be a stranger means stay away
As far away as you can
'Cause you're unstable
And that's all I need right now
How could you possibly understand?

Don't be a stranger means stay as far away as you can
When my friends say they're fine
I just think they don't know where to begin
I'm happy that you're happy
But I'm sad we'll never speak again
If I could do this over I know
That this is how it would end

Pack up and don't ever come back
I never meant to make you so sad
Pack up and don't ever come back
I never meant to make you so sad
