Strangers In Our Town
Discovering Home in Unfamiliar Places
Lyrics
This is the place where we disappear
This place is where we go to escape or find solitude.
Whisper to the ocean, get our answers there
Seeking answers by communicating with the vastness of the ocean.
Nothing changes much, still waiting for the catch to come back in
Despite the passage of time, things remain relatively unchanged, anticipating a return of success or fulfillment.
It's been ten thousand miles, since we've been home
Having traveled extensively, possibly away from home.
cnd it feels good to hold you and know we're alone
Expressing comfort in being with a loved one after a long journey.
Nobody knows us, this is where we find ourselves again
Reveling in the anonymity of being in a place where nobody recognizes them.
Honey leave your suitcase in the driveway for now
Suggesting a temporary stay, leaving belongings aside.
Oh you look so perfect with the sun sinking down
Complimenting the partner's appearance during the sunset.
Baby come on out, let's be strangers in our town
Inviting the partner to embrace the unfamiliarity of their current surroundings together.
This is the place where we rest our souls
Describing the place as a haven for their souls, possibly referring to a peaceful or meaningful location.
That old highway living, yeah it takes it's toll
Acknowledging the challenges of a nomadic lifestyle on the highway.
Wouldn't trade it for nothing, but this is what I picture in those motel rooms
Despite the challenges, cherishing the mental image of motel rooms and the experiences associated with them.
This is the place we left our past behind
Leaving the past behind and creating a unique world for the couple.
Carved out a world just for you and I
Building a life exclusively for "you and I," emphasizing the intimacy of their relationship.
This is the place we first started watching our flowers grow
Reflecting on the beginning of their journey together and watching their relationship grow.
Honey put down your make-up, throw me the keys
Suggesting simplicity and emphasizing that basic needs like boats in the harbor are enough.
cin't the boats in the harbor really all we need
Encouraging the partner to abandon unnecessary things and join in the simplicity of the moment.
Baby come on out, let's be strangers in our town
Reiterating the invitation to enjoy the unfamiliarity of their current location.
No one stops us on the street, or way out in the tides
Highlighting the freedom and lack of interference they experience in this place.
So we just run together, we just take our time
Choosing to move forward together at their own pace, unaffected by external pressures.
‘Cause soon we will be gone, chasin' yellow lines
Anticipating a departure in the future, following a path defined by their choices.
That's the life we lead
Describing the chosen lifestyle as one characterized by constant movement and pursuit.
So honey let down your hair and put your hand in mine
Encouraging the partner to let go and embrace the freedom symbolized by letting down their hair.
You know the wind sends a shiver by the water at night
Creating a vivid scene where the wind adds to the romantic atmosphere by the water at night.
Baby come on out, let's be strangers in our town
Repeating the call to be strangers in their current surroundings.
Baby come on out, let's be strangers in our town
Reiterating the invitation to embrace the unfamiliar and create new experiences together.
