I've noticed you've been walking alone
I can't help but feel like I've known
That you look like you're hurting deep down
Know I'm around
I saw you there the other day
You saw me and I looked away
'Cause I am afraid of people like you
What can I do
I try to pretend I don't know your name
But I do
I try to act like you don't make my day
But you do
One day, I'll have the nerve to tap upon your shoulder
But until then
We'll be like strangers
I feel like I've gotten over you
But then I glance back and suddenly I knew
That these feelings are going nowhere
I don't care
I hear you and all the songs you sing
Playing soft sounds onto six strings
Now I could listen to you all day and night
It's alright
I try to look like I'm not infatuated
But I am
I try to look like I'm not elated
But I am
One day I'll have the nerve to tap upon your shoulder
But until then
We'll be like strangers
One day I'll have the nerve to say what I cannot now
But until then
I'll be your stranger
And I'll be your stranger
I'll be your stranger
