Don’t Be A Stranger

[Verse]
It pains me
To think about the nights we’d miss any party
Cause 1 on 1 was so much better
But I bet now
You’d avoid me if we were in the same crowd
And it hurts when
I drive by your old house
So many times I’d
Show up there unannounced
It feels like years since
I was by your side
It reminds me
Of how fast time goes by

[Chorus]
Just don’t be a stranger
Do you think of me?
Even when you know you probably shouldn't be
Is this a bad dream?
When will I wake up?
And still be sixteen
Knowing that we were in love

[Verse]
In a couple of years, I thought I’d call you up
And hear about college and how life got tough
I’d tell you how I’m playing sold-out shows
You’ll tell me you always used to tell me so
And I’d tell you how proud I am of who you are
You always knew who you were
And you still know who you are

[Chorus]
Just don’t be a stranger
Do you think of me?
Even when you know you probably shouldn't be
Is this a bad dream?
When will I wake up?
And still be sixteen
Knowing that we were in love
Just don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger to me
Just don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger to me

[Verse]
I'm not gonna lie
I worry sometimes
That no one will see me the same
Yeah we were just kids
But I promise you this
Nobody looks at me that way
No matter how far
Far down the line
I’ll always pick up if you call
'Cause I keep your number saved
In case you ever need me at all

[Chorus]
Just don’t be a stranger
Do you think of me?
Even when you know you probably shouldn't be
Is this a bad dream?
When will I wake up?
And still be sixteen
Knowing that we were in love
Just don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger to me
Just don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger to me
