It's raining in June on a Thursday
The movers are waiting to start
The bedroom is empty, the hall is mess
And there's so much to do before dark
A river is running down Hawley
Carrying dead leaves away
I stare at the stream wondering what it all means
Then a car horn brings me back to today
Just like that, the circle's complete
Just like that, it all falls away
Your eyes are just eyes, your voice just a noise
That I no longer need on repeat
Just like that, the cleaners are finished
Just like that, the keys are returned
The endless parade, the promises made
Just like that there are none left to keep
It's sunny in Brooklyn in April
There's places and people to be
There's chaos and peace on each side of the street
As we meet in the shade of a dream
And just like that, the circle's complete
Just like that, it all falls away (falls away)
Your eyes are just eyes, your voice just a noise
That I no longer need on repeat (no longer need)
Just like that, I have somewhere to be
Just like that, I don't have all day (all day, all day)
The endless charade, the small talk that's made
Just like that, you're a stranger to me
There are date nights, subways and movies
New years and roadtrips and friends
And dinners and sick days, parties and new clothes
Music and lonely weekends
There are journals and self help, solo cab rides
And arguments, laughter and wine
Christmases, birthdays and traffic jams,
Babies and weddings and frown lines
And there's you
And there's me
And there's all of our messy and glorious history
I can't help but find it all a bit funny
How just like that
You're a stranger to me
