Lyrics of 'Strangers' by Shelton Harris

That's why I think too much
Trying to write these songs
Think I am moving back
Weighing in on my options now
Wondering if I am losing track
Hope to God I don't lose my friends
Hope to God I don't lose my health
Hope to God I don't lose my girl
Hope to God I don't lose myself
Thinking back to those old times
And wondering if I am changing
Don't tell us that when we growing up
That our friends would all become strangers
But fuck it man, we ain't losing sleep
I got dreams and shit that we chasing
But to keep it real and just clarify
Yo I'm terrified, I won't make it
Look, memories taking me back
Where nothing was real
But nothing was fake
And now we pretend
Like everything is fine
Like nothing has changed
We moving along, one separate ways
Where we be keeping in touch
That was 2008, we used to skate
That was from riding the bus
Was all that what we did
Now you got kids
Now we some people you never met
Memories fade like a click on a page
But we never forget so how does it look?
From the outside in
I know things change and it seems strange but that's how we live

Oh oh, strangers haunting me
Or I can barely sleep
Or I won't fight enough more (or I won't fall in love more)
Oh oh let me go
No, they won't let me go
These strangers
But I am no stranger

Thinking back where I left you all
Who would've thought I would've left it all
Who would've thought I would forget your name
Who would've thought I would forget to call
It's no flipping back in this book
A page turned, that's lessons learned
Can't change the path that we took
A might not return
So we learned to laugh when we can
Never gon overlook who we love
Never gon turn my back on my fam
Never gon burn a bridge I put up
And if y'all need me, just call
You can hit me up
I'm-ma hit y'all back
If you need that pick me up and that fix me up

Like God damn, look what we been through
Would've slept on the same old floors
Talk shit, said where you meant to
Now I just look back and laugh
Cause we ended up where we had to go
Did things we might regret but we had to know
Cause life had to show that we all be growing up
To the day that we finally meet again
And I know some of us ain't showing up
Death calls and we lose another friend
Fuck, how does it look?
From the outside in
We let trust sink and that cuss deep but that's how we live

Oh oh, strangers haunting me
Or I can barely sleep
Or I won't fight enough more (or I won't fall in love more)
Oh oh let me go
No, they won't let me go
These strangers
But I am no stranger
