about

Fall, 2007

lyrics

I went to the city for a job interview
As I looked for a seat in that overcrowded room,
I saw you.
And even though I was late,
And my clothes were all wet
Cause it started to rain
And I overslept,
I saw you, and it was all better somehow.

But things have changed and now

We're out on the street, the sun is shining down.
Our eyes never meet, there's people all around.
I feel nothing. I feel nothing at last.
We're just strangers brushing shoulders as we pass.

I'll never forget the times that we had
Before the good days started all turning bad.
It's a shame. It was perfect then.
Then something began to change in your heart
And all of our plans slowly fell apart.
You weren't the same, and you never called after that.

Yea, things have changed and now.

We're out on the street, the sun is shining down.
Our eyes never meet, there's people all around.
I feel nothing. I feel nothing at last.
We're just strangers brushing shoulders as we pass.

I wanted to know what happened to us,
So I asked you so many times
And you couldn't begin to give me an answer,
You just threw out one of your lines.
It took me a while to realize that you were never coming back
Now it's easy for me to ignore you when we pass.

We're out on the street, the sun is shining down.
Our eyes never meet, there's people all around.
I feel nothing. I feel nothing at last.
We're just strangers, always strangers.
Never showing we have a past.
We're just strangers brushing shoulders as we pass.
