Lyrics Josh Ritter

Josh Ritter

Strangers

You and I danced closer than our shadows to the ground

Closer than our laughter to the sound

And you knew me even better then than I even know me now

And I can't believe that we were ever strangers

We come into this world naked as the girl above the bar

Spend our lifetimes wondering who we are

Then someone comes along and they know our heart by heart

And I can't believe that we were ever strangers

Ever strangers

Ever strangers

You and I danced closer than the trumpet to the vine

Closer than the couplet to the rhyme

I know there was a time before but I cannot bring it to mind

And I can't believe that we were ever strangers

I just can't believe that we were ever strangers
