Walking With a Stranger
Chris Staples Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felt like walking with a stranger who didn't even know her name.
Pretty soon I grow a costume to her warm and sunny way.
Pretty soon I would forget about those frigid winter days.
If you just stay true, some good things are coming back to you.
If you just stay true, some good things are coming back to you.
As far as I could see who death leaves laying on the ground.
Pretty soon I grow a cold and hollow feeling in my heart.
Pretty soon me and my sunny day would have to part.
If you just stay true, some good things are coming back to you.
If you just stay true, some good things are coming back to you.
If you just stay true, some good things are coming back to you.
