00:00I know you so well, I don't know you at all
00:29I don't know you anymore, I don't ask the questions I did before
00:36But you don't ask me either, this isn't a one-way thing
00:41The age, thick with history found, leaves no room for blooming
00:50And I see you in the company of others these days
00:56And you sparkle like the rain
01:01Something happens when it's just the two of us
01:06And it's hard to explain
01:11But sometimes the light hits us at just the right angle
01:16And we laugh like the old days
01:22I know how you stayed by my side, I love you always
01:31My mother helped me up and I barely even noticed
01:37Brothers helped me up and I left them with bruises
01:42Lovers helped me and I took them for granted
01:47But a stranger helps me and I send her flowers
01:55Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
02:05Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
02:20Too much time spent in the same background, I don't notice the changes
02:29I tend to mirror the faces I see around, I don't know who my own is
02:38And I can feel myself feeding into the walls around you
02:45I know that my shine is turning to rust
02:49But I believe in beginnings as I believe in endings
02:54And when things come around again they must, they must
02:59My mother helped me up and I barely even noticed
03:05Brothers helped me up and I left them with bruises
03:10Lovers helped me up and I took them for granted
03:15But a stranger helps me and I send her flowers
03:28Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
03:38Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
03:47A blank canvas, a white page, a field so free
03:53The forest, the trees before the field came to be
03:58The freedom of darkness and the street
04:03I want to give you my eyes without what lies beneath
04:15I like your face to mine and your beauty inspires me
04:21I like your voice to mine and your jokes surprise me
04:26There'll be no bigotry left, no more canvas to write
04:32It's a mess of sight, light, light, light
04:38Forever I'll, forever I'll, forever I'll, I'll flee
04:55Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
05:05Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
05:15Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
05:25Old friend, let's pretend that we're strangers again
05:34That we're strangers again
05:39That we're strangers again
