stranger

I've seen you somewhere
It's kind of funny
I made a prayer last week hoping we'd have a run in

It's wishful thinking I know
I know my bias
But knowing it can't keep me still, it couldn't keep me quiet

You're just a stranger
I've known you my whole life
That paradox is paralyzing, it keeps me up at night

What would we do without
A little bit more time
I guess I would apologize, and make it all alright

I'm making peace with a stranger
It's hard to pretend, we're only friends
Let's take a walk and rekindle

Part of your face I remember
Don't know what went wrong, it takes too long, let's start again

Familiar zip code
Been there before
I think your house is down the street
But really it's next door

I'm living my life
And you're living yours
We sit down for dinner
Eyes never leave the floor

Hanging is a picture, crooked on the wall
Saved in my albums, but couldn't recall

What a reunion, catch me up to speed
How do I cram 26 years of time in this conversation earnestly?

I'm making peace with a stranger
It's hard to pretend, we're only friends
Let's take a walk and rekindle

Part of your face I remember
Don't know what went wrong, it takes too long, let's start again

Whoo!
