Familiar Strangers (feat. Malia Carter)

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 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) 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 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 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 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 (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) Wherever We're nothing but strangers (We're nothing) It don't even take much to push me away from you (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 (Towards me) Wherever We're nothing but strangers (We're nothing but 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's like we know each other (We're nothing, we're nothing) Yet we're nothing but strangers (Strangers)
