Jack Blair - Strangers

You can always find him but he's never there
Wearing, new shoes and a blank stare
An extra in the back of every movie set
Following a crowd he's never met
His family of strangers

Wearing clothing that she can't afford
Fighting, real tears and a, closed door
A couple fake friends on the internet
Worshipping people that she's never met
A world of distant neighbors

How did they get so lonely
How did they get so far away
Don't know where their going
But I see them everyday
Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh
Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh

Throwing away another calendar
Full of empty days he won't remember
Pouring all his dreams down the kitchen sink
Still can't find a missing link
No one cares to notice

She goes out at night, its a ritual
Anything to feel less invisible
Picking up speed running out of track
Spending all night afraid to crack
She's falling out of focus
Wa-oh and I'm wondering

How did they get so lonely
How did they get so far away
Don't know where their going
But I see them everyday
Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh
Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh

Lost in all the things that he never did
The picket fence and having kids
Trying to smile but he can't pretend
Would he do it right if he lived again
Full of empty questions

She's got a steady job and she loves her work
Speaks her mind but never heard
Wondering if she could ever do enough
Feeling like she's the only one
Hopeless for affection

How did they get so lonely
How did they get so far away
Don't know where their going
But I see them everyday
Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh
Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh

How did they get so lonely
How did they get so far away
Don't know where their going
But I see them everyday
