Stranger

Tracing memories in my hometown with the waves, they come and go
Let them carry me back in time as I wander on these shores
I was just playing foolish games with my friends in our old hangout
Oh, it feels just like yesterday, but so much has changed now

I don't recognize the face in the middle of the frame
Still I feel the same inside, I've not changed my heart or mind
I don't make it easy for me, I can be hard on myself
For I know that I can't count on a miracle to come my way, mm

Everything is white outside, and the air is standing still
For the first time after the storm, the sun smiles on the hills
I was once a familiar face, like the trees growing from the ground
Now I feel like I'm someone else when I take a look around

I don't recognize the face in the middle of the frame
Still I feel the same inside, I've not changed my heart or mind
I don't make it easy for me, I can be hard on myself
For I know that I can't count on a miracle to sprout

I don't recognize the air that I breathe in when I'm there
And I walk through the doors, like I've not been there before
But the river hasn't changed, it's still running through my veins
As it did when I was young, and I know it will keep on flowing, mm
