And I know that I've been In this house before.
I remember every picture on this shelf.
I thought I'd recognize your face
When you came walking through the door,
But you look like somebody else.
I wish I didn't feel like such a stranger.
And this house just like some out of town motel.
When you came around to see me
I thought I'd fall in love again,
But you look like somebody else.
Ain't it sad the way that all these years have robbed us nearly blind?
Feeling round the darkness of a cell.
Where every day's the same,
But love is just a name.
That fades away 'til you can hardly tell.
Did I really throw my back out late last summer,
Hanging up that heavy mirror in the hall?
'Cause now you're standing right beside it,
And I can't do a thing to hide it,
But you don't look a thing like you at all,
No, you don't look a thing like you at all.
We'll hide in distant memories that flash from time to time,
Calling from the bottom of a well.
The echoes sound the same,
But love is just a name
That fades away 'til you can hardly tell.
Did we ever really get to know
The people hiding out behind our shells?
Now your hands they look familiar,
When you wipe away a tear,
But you look like somebody else.
Yeah your hands they look familiar,
When you wipe away a tear,
But you look like somebody else.
