WE'RE NOT STRANGERS
Ryan Oakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gives me a taste of dΓ©jΓ vu
Before our memory was erased
I think I had a space for you
This ainβ²t the first time you been around
A life ago, I know we wound up
Pack your bags in our hometown
To meet again, I think we're bound to
An eternity together
And I know the chance is slim
But I think I know you from before
Letβ²s fall in love again
'Cause we're not strangers
We were never strangers
Yeah, weβ²re not strangers
We were never strangers
Something about all of your energy
It gives me dΓ©jΓ vu
Somewhere deep inside my memories
A brand of me and you
And the only way Iβ²m crazy
Is from it driving me insane
Baby, I've been thinking lately
That youβ²re the exit from the maze
I've been running in forever
And I know the chance is slim
That weβ²re better off together
We can fall in love again
'Cause weβ²re not strangers
We were never strangers
Yeah, we're not strangers
We were never strangers
An eternity together
And I know the chance is slim
But I think I know you from before
Let's fall in love again
β²Cause weβ²re not strangers
We were never strangers
We can fall in love again
We're not strangers
(Cool)
