Its the strangest
Strange that when I\'m around you, I don\'t feel pain
Somehow, you make it change
And I feel fine, almost sane
You smile and tell your jokes
I smile back, a thing I\'m not used to doing, sitting next you on the bus
Arm to arm, laugh to laugh, talking about life and our folks
And the strangest thing is, I can talk about my pain to you, actually talk about it and how it sucks
And you\'re not like the others
You actually know what its like, don\'t give me pity, but advice
And I like that, strange how we could be competent lovers
I push you away and you come back, I dissociate and you still talk to me
You understand
Seen all my scars and ugly parts, know how I drown in a dark mind-consuming sea
But right beside me you still stand
You stand, and hold my hand
With that same smile that makes my stomach flutter
And just like that, I want to open my shutters
Let some sunshine in, get a real smile on my face
Finally find my place
In this strange and painful world
Forget about all the bullies, all the other boys and girls
As we walk through them, hand in hand, laugh to laugh
Oh god, I can\'t even remember the last time I laughed like that
And it happened with you
Suddenly, the sky turned a lighter shade of blue
Strange, isn\'t it?
Strange, yet beautiful, as if just you can make everything change
Go on midnight walks together
Changing me too, and for the better
But I\'m still wary, not wanting to get my heart broken again
Is that hard to comprehend?
It is for me, because I want to be with you so bad
Around you, I no longer feel sad
I\'m not the monster I think I am, know I am
I\'m not some broken thing for everyone to stab
And strangely, I\'m no longer nothing
I\'m actually something
And sometimes I think of how it will feel for you to touch me
Or how it\'d feel to dance with you
Laugh with each other, your presence getting me higher than the trees
And the world around me suddenly doesn\'t feel so cruel
Because with you everything feels good, so, so good
It\'s strange, really
How you make me feel so silly
But... I like that
So yeah, maybe it is all strange, maybe it won\'t work out
But maybe I could come out the inky black
Of what I would hide myself in to get away
Take down my iron walls
Learn to live, take a minute to pause
Looking over to your milk chocolate brown eyes
Gee, your jacket on me feels nice
So, maybe I do like the strangeness of it all
Maybe we\'ll last past Fall
And I\'ll learn how to smile again, get clean
Rearrange my broken parts so I feel complete
With you, no longer stuck in my cage
How strange
