Don’t be a stranger
That’s what my mother said
She yelled dont be a stranger
Down the basement stairs
I wish you could see the tears roll down my face

As I looked out the window to watch you drive away

My sisters cried much harder than I did that day
‘Cause when you said goodbye they were sitting in the stairway
You don’t have to listen if you don’t really want to
But I hope someday, the wind can carry me back to you

I hate that I have to go back to school again (again)
While your living upstate and making all of your new friends
The sound in my earphones cancels out all of the noise
Because without distractions you show up without a choice

My sisters cried much harder than I did that day (Oh)
‘Cause when you said goodbye they were sitting in the stairway
You don’t have to listen if you don’t really want to
But I hope someday, the wind can carry me back to you

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You don’t have to love me if you dont really want to
But I hope someday the wind can carry me back to you
Yes, I hope someday the wind can carry me back to you
