strangers in the same city
Beth Keeping, Luke Yates
There are never rules for this
You go your way I’ll go mine
But what if we both turn the same way
At the same time
No use in making small talk
About things we used to know
For all the time that we’ve put in
There’s nothing left to show
When there’s nothing left to say
We’re strangers in the same city
We’re strangers in the same city
When you don’t start as friends
When it ends you’ve got to pretend
You’re just strangers in the same city
We breathe the same pollution
We share the same past
We ride the same train line
Drink at the same bars
We feel the same rainstorm
Beneath the same grey sky
But you’re just one of a million people
I could pass by
When there’s nothing left to say
We’re strangers in the same city
We’re strangers in the same city
When you don’t start as friends
When it ends you’ve got to pretend
You’re just strangers in the same city
I’m scared that I’ll see you
I’m scared that I won’t
I’m scared that I’ll see you
I’m scared that I won’t
I know I still miss you
Though I say that don’t
I’m scared that I’ll see you
And I’m scared that I won't
We’re strangers in the same city
We’re strangers in the same city
When you don’t start as friends
When it ends you’ve got to pretend
You’re just strangers in the same city
