Talking with Strangers

[01:00.80] Today, I talked to a semi-stranger
[01:05.98] A girl that I sorta know
[01:11.13] But every encounter at the corner grocery
[01:15.87] Holds potential for our relationship to grow
[01:21.36] And half of my brain was totally afraid
[01:26.41] That she'd hate me, never want to see me again
[01:31.69] And half of my brain was equally afraid
[01:36.73] That she'd like me, want to be my friend
[01:44.82] I am learning to love
[01:55.07] I am learning to let myself be loved
[02:06.72] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[02:11.93] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[02:17.15] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[02:22.09]
[02:46.93] Yesterday, I was anxious and alone
[02:51.49] So I called a friend to make me feel ok
[02:56.99] And for a moment, I found myself
[02:59.49] Angry at him for offering help
[03:01.86] When I should have just been grateful
[03:04.46] For what he gave
[03:09.93] I am learning to love
[03:20.14] I am learning to let myself be loved
[03:32.04] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[03:36.92] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[03:42.17] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[03:50.78] Be gentle with me
[03:56.20] I might not be ready
[04:01.14] Be gentle with me
[04:05.40] I might not be ready
[04:11.87] I am learning to love
[04:22.16] I am learning to let myself be loved
[04:33.87] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[04:39.07] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[04:44.03] How did I miss this lesson when I was young?
[04:53.00] Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
