LYRICS:
Don't wake me when this is over
Just let me drift amidst my dreams
I need to regain composure
And right now my heart is still and asleep

I refuse to believe
That we've become so obsolete
Don't wake me when this is over
'Cause I need to find the time lost in between

If we get back (get back)
To lovin' each other (lovin' each other)
Can we get back (get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back
To learnin' how to live?

We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives
Searching for God at the bottoms of bottles and in strangers' eyes
We're living in desperation, drowning in medication
Lost in the folly of our age

If we get back (get back)
To lovin' each other (lovin' each other)
Can we get back (get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back
To learnin' how to live?

We are strangers in this land
We are strangers in this land

Really liking the vibe of this track. Perfect for a night time drive.

[trehhamilton]

Hearing your tears in this song really get to me. So many more than likely think this is directed at a girlfriend of family member, but you can clearly hear Dallas speaking to HUMANITY as a whole. Second verse especially gets me. “We look to the heavens above for advice all our lives, searching for God in the bottoms of bottles, and in strangers eyes. We’re living in desperation, drowning in medication, lost in the folly of our age...” damn

[johnscott]

This song reminds me of my lost wife. Chyrle I will always love you my dear even though we can’t be together right now. We will see one another again hun and we can love one another again. Love you always your John for life and beyond. God I miss you loving me. Hun you are always in my dreams xoxo.

It's the voice, the words, the emotion...this stuff hits me in my heart everytime. I swear there's a chamber in there with an old record player that plays this stuff on repeat...his haunting reminders of my pain echo off the walls...something like a murderous lullaby; it cuts deep, the wound seeps, I'm bleeding out but damn I keep hitting that repeat

[itskerbs]

If Alexisonfire and City and Colour drop new albums around the same time i'm going to lose my shit. And with the amount of singles coming out lately, I wouldn't be surprised.

We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives
Searching for God at the bottoms of bottles and in strangers' eyes
We're living in desperation, drowning in medication
Lost in the folly of our age

Dallas has made my life so much easier, whenever I am down I always turn to his lovely music

[domharris]

Dallas is THE BEST! I met him 3 years ago and he was so kind. Loving the new songs!

[ChaosTheory]

Anybody else notice how Dallas said his heart was awake in Astronaut but in strangers he says his heart is still and asleep. They're like polar opposite singles. Amazing.

[Phamine]

All the melodic chords in this song really sound like Alexis. I love that he's back in 2 different bands right now. It's really influencing this album in an awesome way.

[kolibristar]

The man with the perfect voice. His music is favorite!!! Thank you for being such a great person

[acy]

[TYLERTYLERTYLERable]

This song has such an indescribable vibe to it that I absolutely love

[Isold]

This my be the best year for new music! Bon iver, lumineers, black keys, head and the heart, and now He has new music!! Indie music fans we are blessed!

[jengildz]

His voice is just so classic... Oh it's so good, the whole arrangement😍

[dianefiddler]

Cesar, you have woken me up from feeling obsolete. We were strangers in this land. Teaching me how to live again and waking up my sleeping heart. You are my Angel from Heaven above. Friends Forever More ❤️❤️

[greenxxghostie]

Don't wake me when this is over
And just let me drift amidst my dreams
I need to regain composure
And right now, my heart is still and asleep

[Pre-Chorus]
I refuse to believe
That we've become so obsolete
Don't wake me when this is over
'Cause I need to find the time lost in between

[Chorus]
If we get back (Get back)
To lovin' each other (Lovin' each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?

[Verse 2]
We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives
Searchin' for God at the bottoms of bottles
And in strangers' eyes
We're living in desperation, drownin' in medication
Lost in the folly of our age

[Chorus]
If we get back (Get back)
To lovin' each other (Lovin' each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back (Get back)
To learnin' how to live?
We are strangers in this land
We are strangers in this land
