Atlas Genius - Don't Let Love Be a Stranger Lyrics

Love can be a stranger
More estranged than truth
I'm amazed that we're the substitutes

The optimist is aging
Hiding from the youth
The lunatics are wrapped up in their suits

This is a world under construction
This is the modern view
Maybe this is what we've wanted
Maybe it's déjà vu

We better slow down
If we wanna survive
You better stand up
When the moment arrives

It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)
It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)

Nothing left to wager
Jumped through all the hoops
Sold myself and still I'm destitute
The golden age has faded
Hanging from a noose
Tailored-made to guide us from the proof

This is a world under construction
This is the modern view
Maybe this is what we've wanted
Maybe it's déjà vu

It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)
It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)

If nobody speaks
Forever we stay
A part of the fringe
A part of the fray
And maybe we bend
Or maybe it's fate
We're taking our time
Until the pendulum breaks

We better slow down
If we wanna survive
We better stand up
When the moment arrives

Don't have to give in
We don't have to hide
Don't fool yourself
It's just another disguise

It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)
It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)

It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)
It's never too late for some innocence
(Don't let love be a stranger)

We're sad for what we never had
And lonely in a mirrored reflection
Life was only ever a fad
And all we ever want is connection
