Familiar Strangers ft. Malia Carter Lyrics

We seemed like strangers then

But we gon' be strangers now (It be like that)

Never took a glance, won't look for you in the crowd

Used to be family, ain't that sad? (Ain't that sad?)

And frankly, as time passed

We became spacious, and at last (At last)

You got your wish you asked for (You happy?)

Should've talked, should've shown more

Could've cropped you out my life (I'm hip)

Had no option but keep goin'

Ain't my day, not my night (That's it!)

Didn't stop, should've listened

I am done and am done for (Done for)

Partial pieces are missing

No more soul left to pour (To pour)

I'm feeling like a statue

I wanna talk and you know it (You know it)

I swear you can see me

Collected a lot of dust, until I blew it (I blew it)

Pass each other in the same room

I see that you care less (I care less)

So why do I care how you're feeling?

Trusted you

You're the reason now I choose few (I choose few)

We have yet to cross paths

But I won't wait at the crossroads (The crossroads)

We're fading out, you're nameless now

It's best we go our separate routes (Yeah)

Wherever

We're nothing but strangers (Strangers)

It don't even take much to push me away from you (You)

Whoever

You were to me or came from (Came from)

It must have been ages

'Cause you keep pullin' towards me (Towards me)

Wherever

We're nothing but strangers (Strangers)

It don't even take much to push me away from you (You)

Whoever

You were to me or came from

It must have been ages 'cause you keep pullin' towards me

Pages to chapters yet created (Created)

Unfamiliar faces

We nothing and we nothing

'Cause we're nothing but strangers (Strangers)

Pages to chapters yet created (From you)

Unfamiliar faces

'Cause we're nothing but strangers (Strangers)

Pages to chapters yet created (Came from)

Unfamiliar faces (Unfamiliar faces)

We nothing and we nothing

'Cause we're nothing but strangers (Yeah)

Pages to chapters yet created (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Unfamiliar faces (Strangers)

'Cause we're nothing but strangers

We're close for strangers on rare occasions

Let's get this straight

Partake in this phase 'cause

What does it make of us? (Of us)

Knew this day would come

You could say we're a derailing train

Wreck, another concept scrapped (Trainwreck)

In a landfill and well (And well)

You wouldn't kill for me

It's killin' me (Killing me)

So, I couldn't feel for you

Feelin' me? (Feeling me)

'Cause in my book that's a double whammy (Whammy)

I've don' searched every nook and cranny (Cranny)

Looked for plot-holes

Your trail went cold

I stay ten toes down, not one tale told (Told)

I'm here and you're there

At parts that aren't known

Marco Polo (Polo)

My charade made me the phantom of the opera

But you aren't my inamorata (Ayy)

Tried to beckon a beacon of hope

You've kindled once before

Ain't no tamperin' with evidence

I've ignited a candlewick

That I can't get the hang of

The only way I can play it safe is to innovate ('Vate)

We're brought here by fate

Each across the room

Wayfarers sidestepping

Parallel opposites caught in wanderlust

This is common sense: these are stranger things

Tip my hat to you 'cause we both agree

We've cleared the smoke (Smoke)

Let the dust settle (Settle)

We've defied laws (Laws)

Erasing all that defined us

We're not in touch (Touch)

A fading gust, I know that much that (Much)

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I (I), I-I-I-I (I), I-I-I (I)

I'm not gravitatin' to a stranger (Stranger, other)

But we know each other

We've cleared the smoke (Smoke)

Let the dust settle (Settle)

We've defied laws (Laws)

Erasing all that defined us (Yeah)

We're not in touch (Yeah)

A fading gust, I know that much that

I-I-I-I (I), I-I-I-I (I), I-I-I-I (I), I-I-I

I'm not gravitatin' to a stranger (Stranger)

But we know each other (Each other)

Wherever

We're nothing but strangers (We're nothing)

It don't even take much to push me away from you

(To push me away from you)

Whoever

You were to me or came from

It must have been ages

'Cause you keep pullin' towards me (Towards me)

Wherever

We're nothing but strangers (We're nothing but strangers)

It don't even take much to push me away from you (You)

Whoever

You were to me or came from (Came from)

It's like we know each other (Know each other

Yet we're nothing but strangers (Strangers)
