about

Strangers Mouth is written as a slap aimed at someone’s face. A call to wake up. To let go, not to think everything to pieces and to not always play safe. To stop waiting for the right moment. Thought when I wrote it that it was about someone else, but realized afterwards that I probably wrote to myself.

lyrics

Spit out your gum
And stick your tongue into a stranger’s mouth
And don’t be cute
You know the truth will always find its way out

And you can cry because you’re crumbling
But don’t you stop because you’re stumbling now

You’re no one’s slave
Don’t walk around as if you had no choice
You decide
You don’t have to hear your inner voice

Unless you do because it’s howling
I know the sound can be astounding now
And you can’t run and you can’t hide when
The noise reaches your ear drum now

And oh you know you might hurt yourself if you try
so you say you might wait just a little while
and meanwhile

You had it
Lost it
Picked it up and threw it away

You can be wild
And open up for us to touch your soul
Or chicken out
And change the subject just to get control

And you can hurt me just by smiling
Imagine if I’d see you crying now
I know you say you need your distance
But can’t you tell all that you’re missing now?

And oh, you know you might hurt yourself if you try
so you say you might wait just a little while
And you just go round and round
and meanwhile

You had it
Lost it
Picked it up and threw it away

Your broken heart
I hope you know you did it to yourself
(Sure) We played along
But all you needed was a little help

And you can cry because you’re crumbling
But don’t you stop because you’re stumbling now
And you’re still waiting for your moment
But there no such thing as perfect timing, no

But oh, you know you might hurt yourself if you try
So you say you might wait just a little while
but you’ve been hurting all your life
and meanwhile

You had it
Lost it
Picked it up and threw it away
