Cabin 9 - Stranger Times lyrics

Do you remember the day I met you
It was down by the water
Had a way about you that I
Could not forget

I couldn't wrap my mind around you
And I sure as hell couldn't build a rhyme around you
I've been trying so long
Still haven't managed yet

You didn't seem to see that I needed you around
And I didn't realize it was a two-way street
Until now

I was just a boy
You were never just a girl
We spent a long time running
Back around each other
Locking up our hearts
When we'd both love to get inside

It's been a long time now
But never really over
Thinking back to days
When I know that you were hoping
Just to find your place
Where the door was open wide
But that was back in stranger times

So we'd go to the same groups
And listen to the same tunes
You looked to me and I'd look to you
Spending time with you was never
Wasted forever
Tasted so close like a
(Ring around the rosie)
But oh no it's not as easy as A B C or 1 2 3
Do re me
So lassie
Don't say you remember
Just say that you can see
What we could be

Do you see what I see
When I look back at you and me?
Cause I remember

I was just a boy
You were never just a girl
We spent a long time running
Back around each other
Locking up our hearts
When we'd both love to get inside

It's been a long time now
But never really over
Thinking back to days
When I know that you were hoping
Just to find your place
Where the door was open wide
But that was back in stranger times

And I know that this was over long before I began
To befriend the elephant in the back room
He came out looking for love
But yours had got old and died

Now with every little memory I keep inside
Like silly texts and tests and photographs and backhanded compliments
Together we weathered and whatever the weather we were alive
Alive

Well I was just a boy
And the world was so much older
Every move you made
Had an awe-inspiring aura
Like a comet's trace
Drives a sword through the starry sky

Well I was just a boy
You were never just a girl
We spent a long time running
Back around each other
Locking up our hearts
When we'd both love to get inside

It's been a long time now
But never really over
Thinking back to days
When I know that you were hoping
Just to find your place
Where the door was open wide
(but that was back in stranger times)

If we can make it work
We can work to make it over
Cause you're just a girl
But I'll never be your lover
Til the planet turns you to look back into my eyes
Looking back at stranger times

Back in stranger
I'll never be a stranger
Cause I'm still hoping to find
Myself back in stranger times
