Strangers

Pick heads off forget me not’s
The faded light of memories
The spirit of the summerhouse
Tt still hasn’t left me
A haze over the house we shared
A flag of permanent defeat
I’m screaming at the august sun
I know you can hear me

Over and over in my head
(Over and over)
I haven’t convinced myself yet
(We’re not getting older)

Won’t force you down, never will
I guess I’ll just see you around
Heart beats me down, hollow now
This house is a burial ground
I guess I’ll just see you around

So lay the weight of your world on me

Upset was overdue
I feel empty like your bedroom
The pressure’s building, it’s caving the walls
Trace the cracks and just wait for it
To swallow me whole
How stupid I’ve been to think it’d be easy
Hostile and faceless
But you see right through me

Won’t force you down, never will
I guess I’ll just see you around
Heart beats me down, hollow now
This house is a burial ground
I guess I’ll just see you around

(Dan Campbell)
I left you waiting by the train
I took shots with shaky aim
And I know it’s desperate
But you and I keep circling the same drain
And it still feels the same when
I’m standing in the rain
I know it’s desperate
But I see you on every stranger’s face

So lay the weight of your world on me
I’ll keep it off your back
Until you get back up on your feet
You’re always doing the same for me

Won’t force you down, never will
I guess I’ll just see you around
