Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, ah

[Verse 1]

Similar ways, similar game

Starting to feel the similar pain

Are you sure we haven't met before?

I know your face, I know your name

But I don't know you

Isn't that crazy?

Isn't that crazy?

[PreChorus]

I think we may be

In a different book, on a different page

You said you are different

But you're the same

Stranger

[Chorus]

I cannot tell you

How many there have been

That were just like you

I do not need you

'Cause you're just like them

[Chorus]

I meet 'em every day

They all seem to be the same

Lame, okay

I meet 'em every day

They all seem to be the same

It's strange

Ah

[Verse 2]

Familiar time, familiar place

Starting to feel the familiar shame

'Cause I know what you have come here for

You know my name, you know my face

But you don't know me

You must be crazy

Or I must be crazy, or is it maybe?

[PreChorus]

I've been here times before

And I've said, "Yes," meaning, "No," but, oh

A lot of shit has changed

Lot of shit has changed

Lot, lot of shit has changed

[Chorus]

Didn't I tell you what all the rest have done?

They were just like you, they have all tried to

You're not the only one

[Chorus]

I meet 'em every day

They all seem to be the same

Lame, okay

I meet 'em every day

They all seem to be the same

It's strange

[Outro]

I, I think we may be

In a different book

On a different page

You said, you said you are different

But you're the same

Stranger
