Текст песни Letters to Strangers - Emma Pollock

Who do you want to be today?
Choose another person
Ask yourself the question
How do you think he likes to dress?
Is he looking out for someone to impress?
Or is he just a loner?

Don't you travel far from home
Just reinvent the places
Avoid the known faces
These are the streets that you expected you'd outgrown
But you're only around the corner from home
And today you're not from around here
Today you've never been here
Today it's all so new here

And take the blindfold off now that we're stuck
And let you out the car without a frock
Just come back to me

You're shedding your own skin today
You're shedding your own skin today
Left behind in corner
The secrets and the mourners
That isn't the life for an honorable man
So you're trying on the life of one who can
Call himself a hero

So walk a different street today
Just because you can do and nobody will know you
And if a passerby stops to say hello
You'll just tell them you really don't know
How the hell you got here
How the hell you got here
You know just how you got here

I'll drop you on a street the way we planned
And let you play the part of this new man
Just come back to me

Who do you want to be today?
Don't you travel far from home
Now won't you stay
Who do you want to be today?
Don't you travel far from home
Now won't you stay

You're shedding your own skin today
