Strange (Edit) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tried for you
Tried to see through all the smoke and dirt
It wouldn't move
What could I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I touch your head to pull your thoughts into my hand
But now I can't
[Chorus]
Say isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
I am still me, you are still you
In the same place
Isn't it strange?
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again
[Verse 2]
Back to this room
Back to our roots
What did we lose?
What did we lose?
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could, I'd pull your strings for one more dance
But I can't
[Chorus]
Say, isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
You look at me, I look at you
With nothing to say
Isn't it strange?
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again

What have the artists said about the song?
To a lot of people, this probably sounds like a breakup song. But for me, it’s encompassing lots of feelings of loss. I wrote it in LA, during the 2018 California wildfires. One day, we passed the hospital where I’d seen my dad for the last time, before he died, and my stomach just dropped—the emoti...
What have the artists said about the song?
Strange is a song about loss, it’s just not about the departure from a romantic relationship, but it’s also about loss of self / ones true identity and the loss of a close friendship. There is still a very raw thing that exists with me – in experiencing quite unexpected and shocking grievances as a...
