Lyrics
[verse]
The whole street rearranges once the crowd thins out,
Streetlights flicker in a color you've never known.
Every shadow seems to lean a little closer now,
Wondering what the strangers won't allow.
[chorus]
Strangers when you're lonely, strangers in the crowd,
Voices sound so hollow, whispered or too loud.
Nobody looks at you the way they did before,
Strangers wait behind every door.
[verse]
Windows full of faces you will never get to know,
Carnival of laughter in a town of afterglow.
Walk a little slower, let the night decide,
Everyone's a stranger till you step inside.
[chorus]
Strangers when you're lonely, strangers in the crowd,
Voices sound so hollow, whispered or too loud.
Nobody looks at you the way they did before,
Strangers wait behind every door.
[bridge]
The carnival keeps turning though the crowd has thinned,
Echoes of a melody get lost upon the wind.
Maybe it's just distance, maybe it's just fear,
Maybe we were strangers standing here.
[chorus]
Strangers when you're lonely, strangers in the crowd,
Voices sound so hollow, whispered or too loud.
Nobody looks at you the way they did before,
Strangers wait behind every door.
