Strays Lyrics

I'm the scared rescue dog in the corner

Whose eyes tell the stories of where I have been

I'm sorry I won't let you pet me

I just need some time before I let you in

'Cause no one tells you that leaving is only the start

Of chipping away at the glacier surrounding your heart

So give me all your patience

And give me lots of time

And give me reassurance

This life is truly mine

We're all a little broken

But now we're less alone

We're all a bunch of strays

Just looking for our home

They say it takes days feeling nervous

And weeks to get settled and months to build trust

I know that sometimes I'm still skittish

But I'm warming up as I slowly adjust

'Cause no one tells you that kindness is hard to accept

When you're more familiar with wasting away from neglect

So give me all your patience

And give me lots of time

And give me reassurance

This life is truly mine

We're all a little broken

But now we're less alone

We're all a bunch of strays

Just looking for our home

You can see it in the Polaroids

That you took when I was laughing

That I'm finally getting comfortable

And the thundercloud is passing

So give me all your patience

And give me lots of time

And give me reassurance

This life is truly mine

We're all a little broken

But now we're less alone

We're all a bunch of strays

Just looking for our home

We're all a bunch of strays

Just looking for our home

We're all a bunch of strays

But now we're finally home
