Strangers Lyrics

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Always ends the same
When it was me and you
But every time I meet somebody new
It's like déjà vu (déjà vu)
I swear they sound the same
It's like they know my skin
Every word they say sounds just like him
And it goes like this

We'll get in your car and you'll lean to kiss me
We'll talk for hours and lie on the backseat
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And then one random night when everything changes
You won't reply and we'll go back to strangers
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

It's something that I hate
How everyone's disposable
Every time I date somebody new
I feel vulnerable (vulnerable)
That it'll never change
And it will just stay like this
Never endin' datin', breakin' up
And it goes like this

We'll get in your car and you'll lean to kiss me
We'll talk for hours and lie on the backseat
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And then one random night when everything changes
You won't reply and we'll go back to strangers
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

It always ends the same
When it was me and you
But every time I meet somebody new
It's like déjà vu (it's like déjà vu)
And when we spoke for months
Well, did you ever mean it? (Did you ever mean it?)
How can we say that this is love
When it goes like this?

We'll get in your car and you'll lean to kiss me
We'll talk for hours and lie on the backseat
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And then one random night when everything changes
You won't reply and we'll go back to strangers
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh (go back to strangers)

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh (go back to strangers)
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh (go back to strangers)

What is the Meaning of Strangers?

Oh, the perils of modern dating! Kenya Grace serves up a catchy yet poignant commentary on the fleeting nature of relationships in today's swipe-right culture. The song paints a vivid picture of intimacy quickly followed by ghosting - a heartbreaking cycle many can relate to. The repetition of "uh-huh" underscores this cyclical pattern, almost like an exasperated sigh. "Strangers" is a nod to the all-too-familiar deja vu of meeting someone new, only for them to morph into an echo of past heartbreaks. It's a bitter lament on love's disposability and the vulnerability it brings, wrapped in a catchy tune that will have you singing along, even as you shed a tear for love lost.
