## About the song

> "I made “Strangers” with Martin Sjølie, who is one of the first producers I bonded with with, and this was maybe the second or third song we wrote after “Don’t Kill My Vibe.” It was an exciting time, because I felt like we really understood each other. I was always running around the studio making weird noises, like, “Can we make that sound?” And he would translate that into his musical language. With “Strangers,” we were listening to a lot of Robyn -- you can hear the inspiration for sure. The “Dancing on My Own” bass line was on my mind. So I remember Martin made a similar one for “Strangers,” and we just chopped it up. Instead of going “Dudududududududu” it was more like “Dududu! Dududu! Dududu!” That’s how we made it -- me saying it like that, and him translating that into the bass."

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Just like in the movies

It starts to rain and we

We're the broken beauties

Blindfolded minds collide and we fall

[Pre-Chorus]

When the curtain drops

Our touch is just a touch

Not like in the movies

Our story's after the end

[Chorus]

Like strangers, perfect pretenders

We're falling head over heels

For something that ain't real

It could never be us, eh

Just you and I

Strangers, perfect pretenders

We're falling head over heels

For something that ain't real

It could never be us, eh

Just you and I

[Verse 2]

Memories in photos

Too easy to rewrite

Left as lonely shadows

Holding each other tight and we fall

[Pre-Chorus]

When the curtain drops

Our touch is just a touch

Not like in the movies

Our story's after the end

[Chorus]

Like strangers, perfect pretenders

We're falling head over heels

For something that ain't real

It could never be us, eh

Just you and I

[Post-Chorus]

Think we got it, but we made up a dream

'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo

I don't want you, all you want is someone

Going home together to forget we're alone

Think we got it, but we made up a dream

'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo

I don't want you, all you want is someone

Going home together to forget we're alone

[Bridge]

You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I

Not like in the movies

You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I

Not like in the movies

[Chorus]

Like strangers, perfect pretenders

We're falling head over heels

For something that ain't real

It could never be us, eh

Just you and I

Strangers, perfect pretenders

We're falling head over heels

For something that ain't real

It could never be us, eh

Just you and I

[Post-Chorus]

Think we got it, but we made up a dream

'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo

I don't want you, all you want is someone

Going home together to forget we're alone

Think we got it, but we made up a dream

'Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo

I don't want you, all you want is someone

Going home together to forget we're alone

[Outro]

Strangers

(Think we got it, but we made up a dream)

('Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo)

Perfect pretenders

(I don't want you, all you want is someone)

(Going home together to forget we're alone)

We're falling head over heels

For something that ain't real

(Think we got it, but we made up a dream)

('Cause we got a pretty look at what we could be, woo)

It could never be us, eh

(I don't want you, all you want is someone)

Just you and I
