Hey there stranger
Do you remember
You were a part of my life
Early December
Think I remember
Sentiment cuts like a knife
The seasons are changing
Life's rearranging
Full of good times
Would have beens
It's all your fault
And where've you been
And how time goes
And now I don't even know
How to fill in the spaces
of the love you've erased in my life
Are you where you wanted to be
Did you get there easily
Did I make you sacrifice
Did you make a sharp left
When you should have turned right
Are you where you wanted to be
Did you sell off all of your gold
Did you trade it in
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold
And barely symphonic
But strangely ironic
Moments contained in one glance
Oh how I adored you
But now I'm ignored by you
Nowhere a tint of romance
And now it's vaguely familiar
I think I remember sharing every single intimacy
It doesn't seem so strange to me that we barely entertained
Even the politest of phrases
But sometimes at night
I conjure you up in my mind
Are you where you wanted to be
Did you get there easily
Did I make you sacrifice
Did you make a sharp left
When you should have turned right
Are you where you wanted to be
Did you sell off all of your gold
Did you trade it in
Did you wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold
While I was busy
Perfecting the art
Of deflecting compliments
I took it too far
And I let a ripple run right through my heart
Of battle stations we're building
You and I just grew apart
We grew apart
While I decided
To make everyone else happy
I just put aside
My foolish pride
I guess I denied
My own desire
I was too busy pleasing
To ever be pleased
I forgot how to breathe
Or question anything
Or ask why
Am I
Am I where I wanted to be
Did I get here easily
Did I make a sacrifice
Did I take a sharp left
When I should have turned right
Am I where I wanted to be
Can I sell off all of my gold
Can I trade it in
Will I wait for love
Or settle for somebody to hold
I'd settle for somebody to hold me now
You know that I've been up and I've been down
I've been picked up and spun around
I'd do it all again
If I could just have somebody to hold me now
I just need somebody to hold now
Could somebody hold me now
I just want somebody to hold me now
I'd do it all again
