Strangers say things we'd never expect
Familiar faces turn when we'd never expect
And we still expect the things to be
The same as they always were
Look in my eyes
Tell me you see
The same girl
You thought
You once knew
Tell me she's there
'Cause I can't find her
In this mirrors reflection
Strangers say things we'd never expect
Familiar faces turn when we'd never expect
And yet we want our expectations to be
Met just like they always were
Look into my face
Tell me it hasn't changed
Forming into a person
You don't know
Saying things
You never thought you'd hear
'Cause I can't hear what
She's saying anymore
Strangers say things we'd never expect
Familar faces turn when we'd never expect
And we yearn for expectations to be
Unhinged just like they always have been
Look into me
Tell me it's still me
This me you want
All the wonders
And all the flaws
Cuts and brusies
You've yet to greet
She could be all yours
Strangers say things we'd never expect
Familiar faces turn when we'd never expect
And we try so hard to figure out
Just what we expected all along
Look at me
Tell me I never changed
Did you ever expect me to?
A stranger to myself
I am the familiar face that turns
I am the stranger who's made you doubt
You don't know me anymore
So please face me and expect nothing less
Strangers say things we'd never expect
Familiar faces turn when we'd never expect
And you still expect things to be
No more different but they already are
Words bind us, words break us. Words we create and try to erase have all come to find truth in the fact that in understanding life we make words come alive.

Heavy Heads, Fumbling Hearts
We try so hard to find
The right words to say
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
Unfortunatley
There is no right thing
To say
To change
All the ways
This has gone
Awry
We try so hard to find
The right things to give
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
Sadly
There is nothing to give
When rivers have dried
All the way up
And we tried and tried
To find another
But only cried
We try so hard to find
The way we used to be
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
Regrettably
There is no where to hide
The binds have come undone
My time with you was fun
But I have moved on
Before I knew you were
Trying to catch up
We try so hard to find
The right way to say goodbye
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
The right words to say
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
Unfortunatley
There is no right thing
To say
To change
All the ways
This has gone
Awry
We try so hard to find
The right things to give
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
Sadly
There is nothing to give
When rivers have dried
All the way up
And we tried and tried
To find another
But only cried
We try so hard to find
The way we used to be
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
Regrettably
There is no where to hide
The binds have come undone
My time with you was fun
But I have moved on
Before I knew you were
Trying to catch up
We try so hard to find
The right way to say goodbye
And why wouldn't we
We only want what's best
