new strangers

When summer was over

I said goodbye to my friends

But I didn't cry

'Cause I thought I'd be back again

We'd sit on that green couch

Talkin' over a movie

Complainin' about choir practice with Dooley

And drivin' 'round town

Didn't mean nothin' to me

With nothin' to do

We thought nothin' would change

But I don't go home

And I don't answer my phone

I miss parties and birthdays

And inside jokes

It's hard to meet in

The middle on different roads

I'll get back there sooner or later

But right now it feels like I'm not keepin' old friends

I'm just makin' new strangers

If I took off a week

And took I-56

Seven hours in my car

To be back where I lived

Would your mom's house

Still have that green couch in it

Would we reminisce for more than a minute

Or would we find out we're just too different now

That's why

I don't go home

And I don't answer my phone

I miss parties and birthdays

And inside jokes

It's hard to meet in

The middle on different roads

I'll get back there sooner or later

But right now it feels like I'm not keepin' old friends

I'm just makin' new strangers
