Strangers

Sittin' on the front porch
Wasting our abundant time
Hoping for a friendly face
To pass and smile
We would even wave
To folks we didn't recognize
Nothin' wrong with being friendly
Things have changed

'Cause I'm remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing I know is
I don't talk to strangers anymore

Staring at my feet I
Can't afford to catch your eye
Giving you the wrong impression
'Cause I know danger hides
deep behind the kindest smile
always question its intention
When did I change?

'Cause I'm remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing I know is
I don't talk to strangers anymore
