"Less Of A Stranger" is taken from Julia Jacklin's new album, PRE PLEASURE, out August 26, 2022.
Lyrics:
never gonna know you
the way that I want to
I’ll never see you in the wild
you’re never gonna see me through
the same eyes my friends do
looking in from the outside
don’t want her to change
pick apart or rearrange her
oh I just wish my own mother was
less of a stranger
ever since I left your body
been a breathless fast swimmer
slow on the sand
“will the race bend back home?”
you said you hate being alone
did you forget the starting gun was in your hand
don’t want her to change
she’s always been the entertainer
oh I just wish my own mother was
less of a stranger
when I look into the mirror
I see my father when I close my eyes
I see you
when you look into the mirror
does your father appear
eyes closed, do you see your mother too?
sometimes I wonder, do I intimidate her?
do my questions and my pain
take like skin to the razor
don’t want her to change
or feel bad for lifes remainder
oh I just wish my own mother was
less of a stranger

can’t tell me julia jacklin hasn’t somehow read my journal entries bc this entire record is so beautiful and i heavily connect to it.

[@misshearttree]

The way that she expresses those hard to explain emotions and tinged feelings.

[@moortje26]

Holy moly had me crying! So deeply true to me! You know, there are many artists, whose lyrics I barely even really listen to, but Julia always catches my ear and brings me home, thank you!

[@violentjen84]

She says it out loud, all those things I don't have the courage to bring to my lips. I'm amazed and grateful

[@katiehosseini8342]

how is this one of the least played songs on the album? this one kills me

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

Never gonna know you
The way that I want to
I'll never see you in the wild
You're never gonna see me through
The same eyes my friends do
Looking in from the outside
Don't want her to change
Pick apart or rearrange her
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
Less of a stranger
Ever since I left your body
Been a breathless fast swimmer
Slow on the sand
"Will the race bend back home?"
You said you hate being alone
Did you forget the starting gun was in your hand?
Don't want her to change
She's always been the entertainer
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
Less of a stranger
When I look into the mirror
I see my father
When I close my eyes, I see you
When you look into the mirror
Does your father appear?
Eyes closed, do you see your mother too?
Sometimes I wonder
Do I intimidate her?
Do my questions and my pain
Take like skin to the razor?
Oh, don't want her to change
Or feel bad for life's remainder
Oh, I just wish my own mother was
Less of a stranger

Your lyrics are always so captivating, they capture specific, eluding feelings I don't see expressed anywhere else. You are such a marvelous artist, Julia. Keep it up!
