Scared Of Each Other

I miss the bus driver, mailman, the cops
Skateboarders running red lights, but don't stop

I miss the lady who talks to herself in full sentences
But won't look at anyone else
I miss the busker with two rusty strings
Who tends to blow his lunch everywhere when he sings

Cause it didn't matter one way or the other
Unlike now we're so scared of each other
Scared of each other

Sometimes A beggar had his shit down
Some kind of gag or some joke that he found
I'd flip a buck or a toon if I had it
Brother it can't always be this bad

I'd take a free hug from some unknown stranger
The risk is worth taking, what's really the danger

Cause it didn't matter one way or the other
Unlike now we're so scared of each other—Scared of each other

I miss Louise who poured beer in a bar
Pretty good singer too, maybe a star
Just to sit down and say, "Hey, you all right?"
Watch some lucky fella get lucky that night

It would not be me, no my dance card was loaded
But it's a beautiful thing watching how it unfolded

Cause it didn't matter one way or the other
Unlike now we're so scared of each other
Scared of each other
