New Street Name - Dan Griffin

New Street Name - Dan Griffin
I just took the books out of the boxes and put up all the posters on the walls
How long does it take to make a new place feel like home
There's no sign of foot prints on these steps
No one's clothes are strung out on the floor
I feel like a stranger when i walk through my front door
A new street name is like and old photo placed in a picture frame;
It might look different
But it's just a rearrangement of the same old troubles I've been going through
I found your love letters in the laundry
Most of them I'd never even read
How much love can someone give without giving up instead
The dried up autumn leaves lay on the lawn and these freshly painted walls are caving in
I hope that time will draw a chapter where you end and i begin
It's like a game of chess with my loneliness
And I just stay in check; it's my condition and it's all about position
But I'm running out of places left to move
A new street name is just an old photo placed in a picture frame;
It might look different
But it's just a rearrangement of the same old troubles I've been going through
I've been going through
