Strangers (feat. Nitty Scott)

Kinetics:

Yeah, it all started with a wave

Comin' from a cutey that I spotted on the train

And I don't usually spit game

To a stranger but I was in danger of never learnin' this girl's name

So I set it off talkin,' laughin,' jokin'

I missed my train stop and I didn't even notice

I gotta see this girl again

Like, "I don't even need ya number -- I already know that you're a perfect 10"

"So what's good for tonight?" leads to two drinks, to the head

And too many things in common leads us to a bed

Two dates to two weeks to two years, too fast

Man, I'm always in too deep, why do I do that?

But we're not gonna move back, we're happy and fine

Yo, does anyone believe love is actually blind?

When the thought of breakin' up is in the back of ya mind

I don't know what's gonna happen in time...I just let it ride

Kinetics & nitty scott:

Remember those days, when I would say

I would never go a day without you

Even though you are gone, they're playin' our song

And it makes me think about you

So I scroll though my phone, I stop at your name

But I never can seem to call

You're a stranger, I'm a stranger

We're just strangers after all

Nitty scott:

You were my perfect little painkiller, popped the whole bottle

Built this on sand with no time to remodel

Thought you and I were a positive turn

You said I didn't know a lot but I was willin' to learn

Held my heart up -- gimme the loot, gimme the loot

And we were skydivin,' no parachute

You used to sing off-key and I thought it was cute

But lately my love songs gotta stay on mute

Cause we just grew apart, and didn't play it smart

Then you just leave me hangin' like a broken work of art

You told me that you hate me and I took it to the heart

Then everything just faded to dark

Call you adam, call me eve, cause baby we deceive

You say you'd stick around when it was easier to leave

But loyalty is dead so I hear and don't believe

And now you just a stranger with a story on ya sleeve

Kinetics:

So I let a couple of years pass

Frontin' like I'm happy but I'm holdin' tears back

Because I miss you

And every now and then, yo I still think about my life with you

You told me I would always be your best friend, you said it convincingly

Wonder if you hear our song, if you ever think of me

Cause we swore that forever we would stay connected

I guess forever happens faster than we both expected

Nitty scott:

Uh, now why you lookin' all oblivious?

Like on the inside you wasn't hideous?

I try to keep it movin' like a vet do, correct you

But I couldn't remember to forget you

Kinetics:

Respect, boo, so I guess the only thing that's left to do

Is apologize for the things that I never said to you

They say it's hardest to forgive the ones you love

So think of it as a plus a stranger is all I am to you

Nitty scott:

Cried you a river and you left me here to shiver

Why they always overpromise and they under-deliver?

I bet you thought about it a lot

But it's been so long I'll probably give you a shot

Kinetics:

So when you lay back, and press playback, I just pray that

You take whatever brings the pain back and you erase that

Let's say that, after days pass

Maybe I'll just be a stranger on the train you wave at, and I'll wave back
