[Verse 1] I know your face like weather I know your laugh by name But when you reach for my hand I move like borrowed flame You say my eyes look lonely I say I’m doing fine Truth is I’m a closed door With your key on my mind [Pre-Chorus] I lean in, then I run I want you, then I vanish My heart keeps missing steps Like it forgot the language I’m close enough to hurt you Far enough to stay Call me what I am tonight A stranger in your way [Chorus] Vast stranger I can’t love you right Vast stranger I go cold at night Hold me close I slip away Vast stranger That’s the shape I made (Vast stranger) [Verse 2] You leave a cup beside me Like I might finally stay Sun hits the sink, and suddenly I don’t know what to say I want to be your shelter I want to be your home But every time you soften I turn to stone [Pre-Chorus] I lean in, then I run I want you, then I vanish My heart keeps missing steps Like it forgot the language I’m close enough to hurt you Far enough to stay Call me what I am tonight A stranger in your way [Chorus] Vast stranger I can’t love you right Vast stranger I go cold at night Hold me close I slip away Vast stranger That’s the shape I made (Vast stranger) [Bridge] If you could read the silence You’d see the cracks in me A thousand nearlys breaking Before I let you in Don’t wait for me to save us Don’t build a home from doubt I am the door half-open I am the leaving out [Final Chorus] Vast stranger I can’t love you right Vast stranger I go cold at night Hold me close I slip away Vast stranger That’s the shape I made Vast stranger But I want to stay (Vast stranger)
