Strangers
Bon Jovi & LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think its time we say
Some things we haven't said
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
Sometimes it's hard to love me
Sometimes it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
It's hard to find forgiveness
When we just turn off the lights
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore
The song 'Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore by Bon Jovi featuring LeAnn Rimes is a powerful ballad about two lovers who have grown distant over time. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the statement "It might be hard to be lovers, but it's harder to be friends." The song acknowledges the struggles that the couple has faced in their relationship and invites them to be vulnerable with each other and bridge the gap that has grown over time.
The song highlights the importance of communication in relationships, with lines like "If you just talk to me baby 'Til we ain't strangers anymore" and "Don’t you think its time we say some things we have not said." The lyrics suggest that there may have been misunderstandings and hurt feelings in the past, but the couple has the potential to overcome them by letting down their guards and being honest with each other.
