[Verse 1: Oliver Sim]
You wanna disappear in a crowd
Just a stranger in a room
Wanna change your colors just for the night
With no word of it following you home
No word of it following you home
No word of it following you home
No word of it
[Chorus: Oliver Sim]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're just a stranger in a room
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're just a stranger in a room
[Verse 2: Oliver Sim]
Tonight I fell for the outline
Of someone I've wanted to know
Cause here under the blue lights
There's always someone I've wanted to know
With no way of it working back home
No way of it working back home
No way of it working back home
No way of it
[Bridge: Oliver Sim]
And I don't wanna waste my time
On an unfamiliar ride
Been looking in from the outside
Are you coming in?
[Chorus: Oliver Sim]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're just a stranger in a room
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're just a stranger in a room
