[Verse 1]
I'm looking for those old familiar faces
In the places I left behind
All the Townsons, Barnes and Staces
And some good old friends of mine
'Cause everyone is someone
That I seem to recognize
There must be old familiar faces
In their eyes

[Verse 2]
I'm walking down these streets that have no signposts
In a language that I know
And I never will belong here
And it's clear that one day I'll go
Everyone is someone
And another memory
Why don’t those old familiar faces let me be?
Oh, why don’t those old familiar faces let me be?

[Verse 3]
I used to live a life without a present
Yeah, no need to go back when
Now I see the truth so clearly
And I want her back again
She hosts the ghosts of people
In the shadows all around
Until those old familiar faces fill this town
Oh, until those old familiar faces fill this town
[Guitar Solo]
Alright

[Verse 4]
Now you know I feel the sun shine stronger
On the dark side of my heart
And people look like strangers now
That I can't tell apart
So I smile and nod politely
Like they're friends that I once knew
I've found those old familiar faces in you
Oh, I've found those old familiar faces in you (Oh)
