“Strangers Again” is a song about the end of a relationship, and how someone you previously shared the most intimate moments with, is suddenly out of your life, and in the chance you see them again, will treat you like a stranger, rather than someone you know.
[Verse 1]
Seesaw going up and down
You jump off and I come crashing down
How hard could it really be
For you to find something nice to say to me?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Baby, it'll just take time
For you to look me straight in the eye
I don't know why you treat me this way
Like I'm a criminal (Criminal)
I say
[Chorus]
Oh, isn't love strange?
Oh, as it starts to change
Oh, lovers and friends
Go back to being strangers again
[Verse 2]
You were someone that I knew
From bein' at the same place our friends go to
I like how you didn't really care
If anyone saw us making out over there
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Eventually, you lost that fight
Until she looked at you with desire
I don't know why you treat me this way
Like I'm a criminal (Criminal)
You say
[Chorus]
Oh, isn't love strange?
Oh, you know it's bound to change
Oh, lovers and friends
Go back to being strangers again
[Bridge]
Say hello, say goodbye
A hundred times in your life
It's for the best, but it's still so sad
A little more understanding wouldn't be so bad
[Chorus]
Oh, you know it's bound to change
Oh, lovers and friends
Go back, go back
Oh, isn't love strange?
Oh, you know it's bound to change
Oh, lovers and friends
Go back to being strangers
Being strangers again
