Lyrics
Hello stranger, what's your name?
Greeting and inquiry about the person's identity
I swear I've seen you before today
Expressing a sense of familiarity or recognition
You look like someone I used to know
Commenting on the person's resemblance to someone from the past
I guess people change and people grow
Recognizing the inevitability of change in people
Where did all the time go?
Reflection on the passage of time, a sense of bewilderment
You came back brand new
Observation about the person returning but appearing transformed
How did you let me down?
Questioning how the individual disappointed or failed
All I ever wanted was you around
Expressing desire for the person's consistent presence
Hello stranger, you're so late
Repeating the greeting and expressing surprise at the person's arrival
I thought that you'd never find your way
Anticipating the person's absence or delay
It looks to me like something's changed
Noticing a change or shift in the person's demeanor or behavior
I'm staring at a different face
Perceiving a noticeable difference in the person's appearance
Where did all the time go?
Reiteration of the puzzlement over the passage of time
You came back brand new
Reiterating the observation of the person's return as a changed individual
How did you let me down?
Repeating the query about how the person disappointed
All I ever wanted was you around
Restating the longing for the person's constant presence
How did you let me down
Repeated expression of disappointment and longing for the person's consistent presence
Oh how did you let me down
-All I wanted was you around
-All I wanted was you around
-How did you let me down
-Oh how did you let me down
-All I wanted was you around
-All I wanted was you around
Final repetition of the desire for the person's continuous companionship
