Perfect Strangers
Jonas Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were looking at me like you wanted to stay
When I saw you yesterday
I'm not wasting your time, I'm not playing no games
I see you

Who knows the secret tomorrow will hold?
We don't really need to know
'Cause you're here with me now, I don't want you to go
You're here with me now, I don't want you to go

Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe the night will change us
Maybe we'll stay together
Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason
Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe the night will change us
Maybe we'll stay together
Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason why
Come on, come on, come on now
Maybe we don't need no reason why
Come on, come on, come on now

No one but you got me feeling this way
There's so much we can't explain
Maybe we're helping each other escape
I'm with you

Who knows the secret tomorrow will hold?
We don't really need to know
'Cause you're here with me now, I don't want you to go
You're here with me now, I don't want you to go

Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe the night will change us
Maybe we'll stay together
Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason
Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe the night will change us
Maybe we'll stay together
Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason why
Come on, come on, come on now
Maybe we don't need no reason why
Come on, come on, come on now
Come on, come on, come on now




Maybe we don't need no reason why
Come on, come on, come on now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jonas Blue's song Perfect Strangers describe the uncertainty and excitement of meeting someone new, yet feeling a strong connection to them from the very beginning. The singer acknowledges the possibility of the future being unknown and unpredictable, but indicates that what matters most is the present moment, and the connection that they share. He urges the other person to stay with him, and not walk away, indicating a desire for the relationship to continue, despite the unknown possibilities of the future.


The chorus of the song highlights the conflicting emotions that come with a new relationship. The title phrase "perfect strangers" alludes to the fact that the two people are not familiar with each other, but at the same time, there is a sense of ease and familiarity in their connection. The repeated "maybe" in the chorus emphasizes the uncertainty and the possibility of different outcomes, but also raises the question of whether any reason is really needed to pursue a relationship that feels right.


The song's lyrics are beautifully ambiguous, allowing listeners to interpret them in their unique way, and making the song much more relatable to a broader audience.

one thing i like about jonas blue is that he uses less well known people to do the vocals, who are still incredibly talented. don't get me wrong, i have nothing against famous people, but i like how some people expose more lesser known talent, bc it gives them a chance too.

@jokbia

i think it's a smart move to boost his own popularity as much as possible instead of having a big star do the vocals to overshadow him too much.

@CuddlyCarrot

Joseph Kim what? no, i don't think that's his motive 

@jokbia

that's great, i do.
