A song of anomie amid the COVID-19 pandemic in which Ben Gibbard realizes his loss of connection to his close friends pales in comparison to the loss of connection with his audience and others he encounters casually.
[Verse 1]
You were by my side on the frontline
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Due casualties of the punk wars
Buried in leather, in leather
[Chorus]
These days I miss strangers more than I, more than I miss my friends
And waves of conversations break in on shores of my head again
[Verse 2]
Furnishments dumpstered or groundscored
You didn't need money, not money
Everything you own in a hatchback
Battered and musty, musty
[Chorus]
These days I miss strangers more than I, more than I miss my friends
Dives filled with hopeless drunks sinking deeper into their sins
Try to be here now, I only ask you when
[Bridge]
Reach out
Reach out
Reach out, to what is choking you
To what is choking you
Reach out, to what is choking you
To what is choking you
[Chorus]
These days I miss strangers more than I, more than I miss my friends
Waves of conversations break in on shores of my head again
Try to be here now, I only ask you when
Try to be here now, I only ask you when
Try to be here now, I only ask you when
Try to be here now, I only ask you when
