[Verse 1]Sleep through the stormI'll have trouble sleeping through this oneFor as long as I can remember you were a lost causeIt's the perfect rainy morning to put Scrubs reruns onWith R.E.M. in the backgroundAnd think of how you let your family down[Chorus]Dead, you're a stranger to me nowAnd I can't stop pretending that you'll ever come downIt's like that one Better Than Ezra songThat dad used to sing to when we were youngBut now I know that nobody's really that strong[Verse 2]My family tree is wrapped in shredded car partsThat's why I hate family partiesAnd the smell of any hospital that isn't sacred heartDon't ever scare me like that againYou left goose bumps on my armsAnd chills in the back of my head[Chorus]Dead, you're a stranger to me nowAnd I can't stop pretending that you'll ever come downIt's like that one Better Than Ezra songThat dad used to sing to when we were youngBut now I know that nobody's really that strongThat nobody's really that strong
