I'm fresh out of school and it's cold
Got a two hour ride down Pond road
Spent far too much time out my nest
And I can't help but feeling depressed
Until, "excuse me son, you got the time?" turns to
"Tell me now, what's on your mind?" e
You know man, I've had a rough day
"But the birds they sing, the sun it shines
And son, you have yet to hit your prime" e
Just like that my mind drifts away
It's the strangers that get me through the day
Well it's the strangers that get me through the day
The strangers that get me through the day
Well it's the strangers that get me through the day
There's a dame tucked away in a muse
As her gaze seeds a still state of gloom
With my heart screaming follow my lead
As I lay my ears down at her feet
Saying, "excuse me girl, hope you don't mind
But I sense some sadness in your eyes
But darling, we've all had those days
But your heart is true, your eyes they shine
And girl, you're too gorgeous not to smile" e
If only we weren't so afraid
It's the strangers that get me through the day
Well it's the strangers that get me through the day
The strangers that get me through the day
Well it's the strangers that get me through the day
In the end every naked face has been lonely
Surprised to find another open minded to hear me
So if my path leads through hollow halls, I'm bound to find someone else that's lost
'Cause all it takes is an honest talk, to lift yourself up out the dark
It's the strangers that get me through the day
Well it's the strangers that get me through the day
The strangers that get me through the day
Well it's the strangers that get me through the day
