Behan the Scene
Familiar Strangers
[Verse 1: Behan the Scene]
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 that 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)

[Chorus: Malia Carter & Behan the Scene]
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

[Post-Chorus: Malia Carter & Behan the Scene]
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
[Verse 2: Behan the Scene]
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
[Bridge: Behan the Scene, Malia Carter & Both]
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'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)

[Chorus: Malia Carter & Behan the Scene]
Wherever
We're nothing but strangers
It don't even take much 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
Wherever
We're nothing but strangers
It don't even take much to push me away from you
Whoever
You were to me or came from
It's like we know each other, yet we're nothing but strangers
