Strange But True
Times Two Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a room without a view
But all that could change if I just get through, up to you
And I, keep my feelings to myself
I've never reached for someone else
But lately I'm thinking how cold I've been
And now I begin to see that I should
Dare to fall and with your help take down the walls
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
And so, here I am with no disguise
You're not the only one who's surprised
But something so simple could so long to be
Can't you see that I'm possessed, they say attract
It's just a typi-cal reaction
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
I ain't gonna look much further now
And I ain't gonna try to reason how
'Cause I know if this turns into love
Strange but true, it's good enough
(Harmonica solo)
Maybe I should dare to fall
And with your help take down these walls
That I'm possessed, they say attract
It's just a typi-cal reaction
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
FADE:
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
The song "Strange But True" by Times Two tells the story of someone who has been keeping their feelings to themselves for a long time, but is now starting to see the possibility of a relationship with someone they've been near to all along. The singer reveals that they have been living in the room upstairs from the person they are interested in, and they've been thinking about what it would be like to be with them. They acknowledge that it's a strange situation, but they can't help how they feel.
The song paints a picture of a love that has been waiting to blossom, and the singer is finally ready to take the risk and reveal their feelings. They are willing to tear down the walls they've built around themselves to let this person in. The chorus repeats the phrase "strange but true" to emphasize the unorthodox nature of their feelings, but also to acknowledge that love doesn't always follow a predictable path.
Overall, "Strange But True" is a song about taking a chance on love, even if it may seem unconventional or unexpected. The lyrics suggest that love can arise between people who have been near each other all along, but have never acted on their attraction. It is a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are strange but true.

Lyrics
Yo, tengo la habitación de arriba de ti
I, I've got the room upstairs from you
Es una habitación sin vista.
It's a room without a view
Pero todo eso podría cambiar si acabo de pasar, depende de ti
But all that could change if I just get through, up to you
Y yo guardo mis sentimientos para mí
And I, keep my feelings to myself
Nunca he alcanzado a alguien más
I've never reached for someone else
Pero últimamente estoy pensando lo frío que he estado
But lately I'm thinking how cold I've been
Y ahora empiezo a ver que debería
And now I begin to see that I should
Atrévete a caer y con tu ayuda derriba las paredes
Dare to fall and with your help take down the walls
Extraño pero cierto, creo que tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Extraño pero cierto, realmente tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
Y así, aquí estoy sin disfraz
And so, here I am with no disguise
No eres el único que está sorprendido.
You're not the only one who's surprised
Pero algo tan simple podría ser tan largo
But something so simple could so long to be
¿No puedes ver que estoy poseído? Dicen que atraer
Can't you see that I'm possessed, they say attract
Es solo una reacción típica
It's just a typi-cal reaction
Extraño pero cierto, creo que tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Extraño pero cierto, realmente tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
No voy a buscar mucho más ahora
I ain't gonna look much further now
Y no voy a tratar de razonar cómo
And I ain't gonna try to reason how
Porque sé si esto se convierte en amor
'Cause I know if this turns into love
Extraño pero cierto, es lo suficientemente bueno
Strange but true, it's good enough
Tal vez debería atreverme a caer
Maybe I should dare to fall
Y con tu ayuda derriba estos muros
And with your help take down these walls
Que estoy poseído, dicen atraer
That I'm possessed, they say attract
Es solo una reacción típica
It's just a typi-cal reaction
Extraño pero cierto, creo que tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Extraño pero cierto, realmente tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
Extraño pero cierto, creo que tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
Extraño pero cierto, realmente tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I've really got a thing for you, yeah
Extraño pero cierto, creo que tengo algo para ti, sí
Strange but true, I think I've got a thing for you, yeah
