Talking to Strangers

lyrics

Hey you! I’ve seen you before
I don’t know who you are but I don’t want to ignore you
Well, I don’t know your world, I’ve been away for too long
But now that I’m here, why don’t we try to learn some more

Well, I just want you to know
There may be nothing to say yet there is so much to show
Now take your time and walk two steps away from the old
You’ll find someone new if only you could do something bold enough to spark their interest
Are you really just too coy to go and meet someone new
Or are you petrified of finding something that might challenge your views

Are you really trying to say that you don’t want to know what all those people are like
Are you willing to state there is nothing to learn except the things that you’ve known all your life
