Julia Mark - The Stranger Is You

I knew that room
The wooden floors, the painted walls
The ghost of you
Dancing down the daylit halls
Somebody new will stand in here and take their calls
And when I'm driving by maybe I will stop to pause
And remember it all

We used to run around the yard and skin our knees
And climb the trees until the sun was clearly well past gone
We wore our secrets on our sleeves
And would believe the slightest breeze was something we could build a story on
And will they mind the maple taking up the view
Or will they call a crew to cut it down?
I didn't know about this moment 'til it showed up in the doorway
I'll be leaving now
I'll be leaving now

I wonder if they'll change the light inside the closet 'cause it buzzes and because it glows a
Too bright white
I wonder if they'll find the letters we would write of conversations
We recorded placed between the wooden boards at night
And will they leave the color in the kitchen
Or will they be switchin' every room around?
I didn't know about this moment 'til it showed up in the doorway
I'll be leaving now
I'll be leaving now

Somebody else's mail is sitting in the box
Got new keys on the chain because they changed the locks
The laundry room will steal away new pairs of socks
And you can talk, talk, talk all day
But in the end
You gotta walk away
Gotta walk away...

There is a stranger in your home
Turning everything over new
But in the end you realize
Now the stranger is you
Now the stranger is you
Now the stranger is you...
