Strangers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just like in the movies
It starts to rain and we
We're the broken beauties
Blindfolded minds collide and we fall
[Pre-Chorus]
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story's after the end
[Chorus]
Like strangers, perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers, perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
[Verse 2]
Memories in photos
Too easy to rewrite
Left as lonely shadows
Holding each other tight and we fall
[Pre-Chorus]
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story's after the end
[Chorus]
Like strangers, perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
[Post-Chorus]
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
[Bridge]
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies
[Chorus]
Like strangers, perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers, perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
[Post-Chorus]
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
[Outro]
Strangers
(Think we got it, but we made up a dream)
('Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo)
Perfect pretenders
(I don't want you, all you want is someone)
(Going home together to forget we're alone)
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
(Think we got it, but we made up a dream)
('Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo)
It could never be us, eh
(I don't want you, all you want is someone)
Just you and I

Since the lovers in this story do not actually know each other, their love is based on lies–like two strangers who meet and suddenly start a relationship.
What inspired this song?
I don’t know if it was a particular moment that inspired me to write this song. I think it was more of a general feeling. On tour, you take time to watch a lot of movies, and I think I was inspired by all those films you see on flights and how things are not like that in real life. Obviously, it’s a...
How did the song come about?
On the day that I wrote “Strangers”, I wrote it together with Martin Sjolie who I wrote “Don’t kill my vibe” with, “High-Five”: that is my new single. We’ve worked together for a long time and this was like after the summer sometime last year, 2017 and we were in the studio doing our usual thing; ta...
