Lyrics Options - Stranger

I've fallen down, surprise,
but picked myself up again.
trial by choice, trial by fire.
it's time to find
a way to push though the thick and then
come out alive, refreshing reminder
done right takes time, I've learned. I haven't been giving in.
holding my breath, pauses extended.
high time to ride, to get my head in the game again
the weeks are all blurred, so take off my blinders.

but I know well, how to sell myself too short,
how to pre-empt all the words that matter.
(heart says too much)
you take your time, while I batter down the door,
while I move on, still unsure as ever.
(blindfold back on)
