[Verse 1] We take the long way home again Same turns, same traffic lights You watch the road like it’s a friend I’m staring through the night There’s a station playing something soft We used to sing along Now it’s just a background voice That neither of us wants [Pre-Chorus] Every word lands in between What we say and what we mean [Chorus] We’re strangers in the same song Same melody, different hearts Keeping time, but something’s wrong We don’t know where to start We’re drifting in the same lines Tracing what we used to be Close enough to almost touch But not enough to feel [Verse 2] You ask me how my day went by I give you something small We trade the truth for safer lines Like it won’t hurt at all There was a time we didn’t think About what love required Now every silence says too much Of something tired [Pre-Chorus] Every glance just passes through Like there’s nothing left to lose [Chorus] We’re strangers in the same song Same melody, different hearts Keeping time, but something’s wrong We don’t know where to start We’re drifting in the same lines Tracing what we used to be Close enough to almost touch But not enough to feel [Guitar Solo] (melodic, clean tone, expressive phrasing, smooth bends, not flashy — emotional and restrained) [Bridge] Maybe we stayed too long inside A rhythm we outgrew Or maybe we just changed the lines And never told the truth There’s no big moment left to break No final scene to play Just two voices out of place Fading day by day [Chorus – Outro] We’re strangers in the same song Singing parts we don’t believe Holding on to something gone Like it never wants to leave We’re drifting in the same lines Somewhere lost between the chords Still playing like it’s all alright But we don’t sound like us anymore
