lyrics

[Verse 1: Collin Monda]
I'll try not to see that look in your eye
And I'll have to let go of how I held you that night
And I'll try to forget the only thing on my mind
As we try to become strangers in time

[Chorus: Collin Monda]
What's stranger than strangers?
Stranger than strangers
What's stranger than strangers?
Are two people trying to forget

[Verse 2: Ashley Trenkle]
How could you close those beautiful eyes?
You held me that way, was it all just a high?
And now you go back and keep living that lie
Don't you know we can't be strangers in time?

[Bridge: Collin Monda & Ashley Trenkle]
Time, time, time, time, time...
What of the time we spent? / Time spent to know this truth
What of the life we saw? / A life we may someday know
If you felt what I felt / Believe me I felt it to, but...
You couldn't let it go / Darling I have to go

[Chorus: Collin Monda & Ashley Trenkle]
What's stranger than strangers?
Stranger than strangers
What's stranger than strangers?
Are two people trying to forget

[Post-Chorus: Collin Monda & Ashley Trenkle]
Two people trying to forget
Two people trying to forget
Two people trying
