Stranger Street Lyrics

A new playground is built across the street

Kids I don't know play on the swings

As everything around me changes

Will I still feel the pull of a string

Old friends move on to new people

An impermanence that's hard to comprehend

My small town grows up with me

I guess everything comes to an end

What if when I leave I come back to see that everything is different

The buildings and streets that surrounded me all my life don't recognize the stranger

Say "goodbye to all I know here"

Young girl packs for a new place

So ready to leave it behind

but one thing I know i'll miss

Is the person walking on my side

Pathways lead us through the city

I never realized the beauty of this town

Being so far up in my head

I needed someone to pull me back down

What if when I leave I come back to see that everything is different

Towering evergreens swaying in the breeze line the road leading up to a stranger's home

There she goes out on her own

Oh (Buildings and trees lining stranger street)

(Among the red gold and brown leaves falling down)

(There's a figure unfamiliar to all my friends) (Like a tourist in my own town)

What if when I leave I come back to see that everything is different

Those I loved dearly move on without me

Emphasize my insignificance

It's within people that change is imminent
