Kindness Of Strangers

(album: May Your Kindness Remain - 2018)

How do you break through when the words don't reach your lips?
In a lump inside your throat or in a pile of could've beens
All the small talk and the catch up and the empty promises
How do you dive deeper in a shallow riverbed?
When the current pulls you further from what you should've said

Getting by on the kindness of strangers
Getting by on the kindness of strangers

When you're trying to be tender, but instead you come off cold
When your sweetness surrenders to the cruelness of this world
All the small stuff and the bad luck when it all becomes too much
How do you find solace in a place so quick to judge?
Do you try and play it cool or play the part you think they want?

Getting by on the kindness of strangers
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
(Kindness of strangers)

People come and people go and some will make their mark
Like an iron to the bull, a symbol in your heart
And the ones that stick around are the hardest ones to find
And if you can't find the closeness, you need the kindness to survive

Getting by on the kindness of strangers
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
Getting by (Kindness of strangers)
Getting by (Kindness of strangers)
(Kindness of strangers)
