Alter Boy

As the ferry drifts away
The phone rings once but it's too late
I never knew you anyway
Another call from yesterday, oh

Frozen
Leaving it in your head
The wind feels so alien
You don't belong

A sound
When nobody's in the house
They didn't know your name
You don't belong on the ground

As the ferry drifts away
The phone rings once, but it's too late
Never knew you anyway
Another call from yesterday, oh

Another stranger on the stage
Another way to make mistakes
I never want to live this way
I guess we're strangers anyway

Looking out from the embassy
At what you didn't see
And how it moves you now

Shrinking back into your shadow
And do you travel
To come unraveled?
