Space for the Stranger

Do you remember late night in Boston
Good streets to got lost in
We were fooling around we were finding our sound
And in the winter losing both our motel keys
Down south in Tennessee
We shut down the bar, yeah we slept in the car

All the places we can't be love
Now that she's lying here between us
Making space, making space, making space, making space
Space for the stranger

There was a poster up on the wall there
We took it down when she got here
It was a band that I loved I used to see in the clubs
And the blanket from that first time in Sweden
That she's wrapped up in dreaming in
Is keeping her calm as the night carries on

All the places we can't be love
Now that she's lying here between us
Making space, making space, making space, making space
Space for the stranger

I don’t wanna be down some city street
When she’s reaching out
She’s reaching out
She’s reaching

‘cause in no time, there will be some day
We'll be there in the driveway
As she waves from the car driving off somewhere far

All the places she will go love
When she’s no longer between us
Fill the space, fill the space, fill the space
The space where the stranger was
