lyrics

When we met I’d rather hoped I could avoid your past
The truth is a lake, and I know I should jump, but I’m scared of an icy blast

It’s part of you, I know I’m wrong
Each lover’s just another one

But I am a child, lost in the fog
And I’m frightened of
Meeting all your known unknowns

Every male name’s a trap that lies across my path
Each fling that you caught, each foray abroad, imagined or otherwise
Navigating someone’s heart, feels like a bloodbath
So spare me your years, the map to my fears, the license to fantasise

The more I wait, the more it hurts
I’ll never ask, I’ll never learn

As I am a child, lost in the fog
And I’m frightened of
Meeting all your known unknowns

If your life start at when we met
I’d feel less threatened

Cuz I am a child, lost in the fog
And I’m frightened of
Meeting all your known unknowns

Meeting all your known unknowns
Meeting all your known unknowns
Meeting all your known unknowns

about

Ned Stranger Brighton, UK

Ned Stranger is really two people trapped in one body.

He’s an adventure-loving idealist, crafting poetic indie-folk songs in sparkling guitar and synth arrangements that draw on his classical and alt-rock influences.

But he’s also a closet nerd and intellectual - a multilingual, book-loving, Cambridge law graduate who relaxes between songwriting sessions by doing the Guardian cryptic crossword.
