These Streets

[Verse 1]
Today I saw another place I can cross off my list
A place I still remember where we used to kiss
Now it can join the buses and planes and the trains
In the garbage heap of memories at the back of my brain

[Verse 2]
And yeah we used to travel every weekend we could
I thought it was for us but how I misunderstood
You were only running from your past five years
On a break up so severe you never got to the tears

[Pre-Chorus]
And oh is this really what you wanted
Now your past in only haunting
What you're supposed to have with me

[Chorus]
I got these streets, doesn't matter where I'm going
I got these streets, walk away from what I'm knowing
I got these streets, walls that never see me crying
Strangers pass by, where you were once there by my side

[Verse 3]
You would be the driver while the passenger seat
Was filled with just a man you never wanted to meet
And my mother even told me that you weren't so discreet
And we had to face our demons on our own terms you see

[Verse 4]
I suppose I should be thankful or even be glad
That I helped you find a place at least that wasn't so sad
But now i'm just a moment where you'll look back and smile
So I'll look to my speedo and count every mile

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Strangers pass me by
Ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Everyone says let go
What am I holding to
But I can't even tell them
Cause I no longer know you
But

[Chorus + Post-Chorus]

[Outro]
Once there by my side
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Now the strangers pass me by
Ooh, ooh, yeah
I miss you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Strangers pass me by
Ooh
Strangers pass by where you were once there by my side
