Story Behind The Song

Even the most successful relationships go through phases where lovers drift apart, especially when personal struggles arise. This song is about reconnecting with the love of your life, remembering what made you fall in love with them in the first place and realizing you're meant to be together, through all of life's trials.

Lyrics

HEY STRANGER

Hey stranger where've you been
So nice to see you smile and hear you laugh again
Like we were young and free
And living without debt
Hey stranger it's all right
I don't need apologies just be with me tonight
Let our worries fade
Even though we won't forget

We look upon the past through a window
With a stubborn latch
We can gaze upon it but we can't ungrow the grass
So baby draw the blinds
I'm not living in denial
But you don't need to stand another trial
No I won't make you stand another trial

Hey stranger look at me
Time has changed us both
But let's embrace the mystery
Discovering the ways the weather shifts the sand
Hey stranger we got lost, but I'm hopelessly in love And you could never shake me off
Even if you tried I'd fall a thousand times again

We look upon the past through a window
With a stubborn latch
We can gaze upon it but we can't ungrow the grass
So baby draw the blinds
I'm not living in denial
But you don't need to stand another trial
No I won't make you stand another trial

If we can't lean on each other we'll be falling
Face down to the ground
So this time I had to pick you up but when I fall apart
You're the one I want around

Hey stranger, take my hand

We look upon the past through a window
With a stubborn latch
We press our face against it but only clouds the glass
So baby draw the blinds
I'm not living in denial
You don't need to stand another trial
But if you had to I'd be with you all the while
No I won't make you stand another trial
