I see you standing in the corner
I've never said your name before
I’m not the kind of girl you’d notice
You’ve never heard my name I’m sure
But I’ll probably screw it up again
I need a little boost of confidence
I’ve tried approaching you before
I guess I’ll try once more
Ooo I don’t know what to do
I draw a blank when I am close to you
Ooo I don’t know what to say
Guess I’ll try again some other day
And see, what you might say to me.
So now I’m standing on the dance floor
I’m feeling awkward in my shoes
I’ll take a seat out on the sidelines
I’ve never had the choice to choose.
But I’ll probably screw it up again
I need a little boost of confidence
I’ve tried approaching you before
I guess I’ll try once more
Ooo I don’t know what to do
I draw a blank when I am close to you
Ooo I don’t know what to say
Guess I’ll try again some other day
And see, what you might say to me.
I’m heading home, I’ve got a curfew
But I wouldn’t stay out anyway
And you’re forever in a corner of my mind
I still don’t have a thing to say

Come home, red dress in hand
Rose petals on the night stand
You’ve spent time with my best friend
I think we know how this one ends
One dozen roses, please
One week later, on my knees
How could you do this to me?
Oh God, will you please forgive me?
Lisa, girl you know you’re tearing me apart
Chocolate, symbol of love
Denny watches from above
Where’d my fucking money go?
Give me five minutes or so
You play psychologist
I can’t go on like this
People sure are strange these days
How’s your sex life anyway?

I step outside, my umbrella at my side
On my way to school, it’s raining and it’s cold
Every day I walk to class a different way
If I didn’t it would soon get pretty old
Walk towards the street, my feet can barely keep a beat,
As I take the steps to move further away
I change my pace, it’s not a sprint, it’s not a race
But it feels that more and more it is each day.
I step and wonder
With every stride
What if I turn around
And run back inside?
Cuz IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII don’t wanna gooooooooo
IIIIIIIIIIIIII wanna go hoooooooooome
Preceding every walk I put the key inside the lock
And pretend that it should turn the other way
I have to force it in and take it out again
Before my morning ritual is done today
Get out the door before I think about it more
Before I try to turn around and run away
I have to stop myself and tell myself again
That this isn’t gonna ruin another day
I step and wonder
With every stride
What if I turn around
And run back inside?
Cuz IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII don’t wanna gooooooooo
IIIIIIIIIIIIII wanna go hoooooooooome
Maybe someday I will be done with this
You’ll never know just how much fun this is
I wanna go home

Strange Neighbors New York
Hey! We're Strange Neighbors. We first unleashed our jangly power pop on the New York City in 2018. We like making groovy tunes that bridge the gap between the Beatles and My Chemical Romance. Take a listen and experience our new nostalgia for yourself. ... more
Strange Neighbors recommends:
Those jangly guitars on a song like "After the Earthquake" are right out of an 80s REM song. I have hope for the future if an album that's The Cure meets REM meets MBV can be a top '22 release. -Zach

Expert In A Dying Field
by The Beths
My current fav - infectious rock energy w/ sweet nostalgia. Liz is proficient at setting up scenes in her songs - I find myself immersed in the story and emotional landscape of each song. -Beau
go to album
A great queer power pop band from LA. It's fun and feels like a musical soundtrack to everyday life. The vocalist is unapologetic with her singing which makes me feel a good sort of way. - Aidan
