Strangers
MΓΏon & Shane 54 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing more than strangers
Passing by out on the street
Memories are fading though
It's only been a week
All the little things are gone
The things we used to be
Nobody could take us down
There was only you and me

And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating

It's you, you, you
It's you, woah

And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating, yeah

It's you, you, you
It's you, woah

Don't want to be a stranger
Want to be the one you need
I can be your world, your life
Your lover, all for free
All the little things come back
The things we used to be
Nobody can take us down there
It's only you and me

And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs




You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating, yeah

The singer acknowledges that they cannot function without their former partner because they were their universe, their air, their fields, and their sky.


The second verse expresses the singer's desire to not be a stranger to their former partner anymore. They want to be needed and to provide love, care, and support to the person who used to mean everything to them. The singer assures that all the little things that made their relationship special will come back and nobody can take them down as long as they are together.
