STRANGE TO ME
I’m free, all I can be
But the truth is not…it’s not what it seems
As usual, I say no more, I lock the door
And throw away the key
But later on I’m back
I hope that I can see
But these days…are strange to me
These days are strange to me…
No matter what I do or say, it’s still very strange to me
A call to arms
Getting called out
But I can’t see
What are they talking about?
There’s too many places…and too many phases
Too many faces…I guess I’ll see you around
I’ll find you in another town, maybe we’ll sit down
And then we’ll talk about
No matter what I do or say, it’s still very strange to me
Maybe we’ll walk around
Maybe I’ll remember how I felt
Maybe you’ll remember how you felt about me…
But these days are strange to me
No matter what I do or say, there’s a feeling around, it won’t go away
Tomorrow’s another day, maybe it’ll go away.
