    Lyrics
    Got my cousin's Christmas card
    The usual picture by the fireplace
    Looks like the kids have grown some
    I wouldn't know them anyway
    He's packing up the family
    And moving down the interstate
    I could say it doesn't matter
    I've never been there anyway

    Chorus:
    I can see our lives are changing
    By the lines in my address book
    In a family of strangers
    We are connected, but off the hook

    I remember how we used to play
    Back when we were little things
    Chasing ghost ships out my window
    I got to know their bikes & swings
    We've seen each other dressed in black
    We've seen each other dressed in white
    We've never seen the blue or grey
    We've never laughed all thru the night

    Chorus

    I think we really mean it when we say
    "We've got to get together someday"
    As we trade numbers and say our goodbyes
    I wonder if they're happy in their lives

    I wish we could be this true family
    I could know them and they could know me
    But we've got our own stories
    We've got our own friends
    When we are together we try to pretend...

    In a family of strangers
