Strangers

We see ourselves like stars

At once so close and yet so far

Bodies so familiar

We both would know them in the dark

The only constant thing is change

Even the strongest wall can shake

Don’t want it all to go to waste

But it feels like we’re about to break

You raise your voice, I slam the door

Somewhere a river over-pours

I sit alone and feel regret

You go out drinking to forget

And when we meet by accident

A subconscious coincidence

There’s an uncomfortable suspense

A thousand words hanging unsaid

I know you so well

But we dance like strangers tonight

No one could ever tell

We used to hold our bodies tight

Trying to have a real good time

But something just doesn’t feel right

The music’s playing but we never hear

‘Cause we dance like strangers

We dance like strangers tonight

You’re surrounded by your friends

Feeding them stories with no end

They all agree and nod their heads

But they can never comprehend

‘Cause they don’t know you like I do

There’s no one else that we include

I’ve seen you act like such a fool

But you held my hand when I was blue

I know you so well

But we dance like strangers tonight

No one could ever tell

We used to hold our bodies tight

Trying to have a real good time

But something just doesn’t feel right

The music’s playing but we never hear

‘Cause we dance like strangers

We dance like strangers tonight

I want to meet you for the very first time

Again, again

I want to start anew with a stranger like you

Again, again

I want to meet you for the very first time

Again, again

I want to start anew with a stranger like you

Again, again

I know you so well

But we dance like strangers tonight

No one could ever tell

We used to hold our bodies tight

Trying to have a real good time

But something just doesn’t feel right

The music’s playing but we never hear

‘Cause we dance like strangers

We dance like strangers tonight
