about

I wrote this song as a goodbye to my high-school friends. It's a heart felt song that you can dedicate to those friends you have to say goodbye to for whatever reason. xo - M

lyrics

Don’t Be a Stranger
(Maddy Rodriguez)

Another year’s come to an end
I can’t really comprehend
How the days flew by and soon
You’ll be miles away my friend

And I stare into space and reminisce
Not long ago we were double dutch kids
But now we have to wave our hands
Hold your breath ‘cause this is it

I don’t know when I’ll see you again
I’ll wait with baited breath for the day
But until then,

You and I both know
There’s plenty of telephones
And I can’t find a reason
We should ever feel alone
‘Cause all we have to do is call
We may not be face to face
But voice to voice is all we need
So don’t be a stranger to me

You’re on your way to a new life
But you don’t want to leave to behind
Sitting in my small backyard
Laughing till the morning light

And I can’t live without your sense of humour
Lord knows that I’m an easy bruiser
And I’d be broken if I were
To lose my favourite loser

So don’t be thinkin’ anything’s over
Hey when you need a friend to be there,
Just remember

CHORUS

When kilometres come in between
It doesn’t have to mean we’re far apart
Oh you’re only seven digits away
Just as long as we stay in each other’s hearts

CHORUS X2
