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

Because everyone is someone

That i seem to recognize

Must be the old familiar faces

In their eyes



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

But when i turn the corner

There's another memory

Why don't those old familiar faces

Let me be



I used to live a life without a present

And no need to go back when

But now i see the truth so clearly

And i want it her back again

She hosts the ghosts of people

In the shadows all around

Until the old familiar faces

Fill this town



Everyday 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
