Lyrics Kasey Chambers

Kasey Chambers

Familiar Strangers

Like a walk down a dead-end street

Like a ship sailed and lost at sea

We can hold out and clutch at a straw

But I don't even know you anymore

Like the curtain at the end of the show

Like the sound of a lonesome whistle blow

We can make believe it's worth fighting for

But I don't even know you anymore

Cause we're just familiar strangers

We don't know any better

Oh why do we hold our breath and wait

When it's too late?

Like the answer to a question no one asked

Like a race where everybody comes in last

We will end up on the cutting room floor

Cause I don't even know you anymore

Cause we're just familiar strangers

We don't know any better

Oh why do we hold our breath and wait

Cause we're just familiar strangers

We don't know any better

Oh why do we hold our breath and wait

When it's too late?

When it's too late?
