Early Riser "Strays" live @The Wooly (FEST 22) 26-10-2024 #fest22 #earlyriser #strays

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
