[Verse 1]

I don’t need much

Just my machine

The sense of who I used to be

This bag of cans, these scribbled prayers

And when you turn around I won’t be there


[Pre-Chorus]

And you can picture me alone upon a highway in the rain

And I can picture you with every guy who ever looked your way


[Chorus]

Let’s be strangers again


[Verse 2]

But I will smile til I get home

I will pretend I am made of stone

All these lies won’t tell themselves

All these lies won’t mean a thing to anybody else


[Pre-Chorus]

If there were words I think you probably would have said them before now

And even if you did I don’t think I’d believe them anyhow


[Chorus]

So let’s be strangers again

The algorithm knows me better than you do


[Verse 3]

Fell asleep upon the desk again

Dreamed that I was you dreaming of me

And as you watch me fade from every picture that you ever took

And as I slip into the crowd and go without a second look

I hear you say

Let’s be strangers
