[Verse]
             
Well I'm just 

 
a stranger
          
I'm only a wal

ker
           
I guess I am h

uman
             
But sometimes 

             
I feel like I'

     
m only a ghost
             
Like I'm only 


a wall
             
And if you com

          
e around, hone

y,
            
I'll probably 

             
just follow yo

       
u home
             
'Cause it's al

             
l that I know 

        
how to do
             
I was born by 

   
a body
             
I'll die by on

   
e too
            
And places are

             
 nothing if th

         
ey ain't got y

ou

[Chorus]
            
And one day I 

         
will be a stea

mboat baby
             
One day I can 

       
be a freight t

rain lady
            
I'll roll down

  
 a river
             
And the miles 

           
won't phase me

[Bridge]
            
Oh I wish I wa

             
s better at be

   
ing alone
            
Still every ni

              
ght I call you

         
 on the phone
            
Oh I wish I wa

             
s more than my

            
 skin and my b

ones

[Verse]
             
But I've been 

            
arranging each

       
 of my movemen

ts
             
And all of my 


gestures
             
And trying to 


fool myself
            
Into thinking 

             
that everythin

    
g's small
             
And nothing ha

   
s reason
             
I woke up and 

            
cried a convul

        
sion of honest

y
             
Brought me to 

             
life when I th

            
ought I was go

ne
            
But I can't pu

             
t a lie in the

           
 mouth of a so

ng

[Chorus]
            
And one day I 

         
will be a stea

mboat baby
             
One day I can 

            
be a freight t

rain lady
            
I'll roll down

 
 a river
             
And the miles 

   
won't phase me

[Bridge]
            
Oh I wish I wa

             
s better at be

Still every ni

Oh I wish I wa

Oh I wish I wa
