Stranger Things Have Happened

Foo Fighters · Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace [2007]

Goddamn this dusty room

This hazy afternoon

I'm breathing in this silence

Like never before

This feeling that I get

This one last cigarette

As I lay awake

And wait for you to come through the door

Oh maybe maybe maybe

I can share it with you

I behave I behave I behave

So I can share it with you

You are not alone

Dear loneliness

You forgot

But I remember this

Oh stranger stranger

Stranger things have happened, I know

I am not alone

Dear lonely miss

I forgot

That I remember this

Oh stranger stranger

Stranger things have happened, I know

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

We'll dream about somewhere

Our smoke will fill the air

As I lay awake and wait

For you to walk out that door

I can change I can change I can change

But who do you want me to be

I'm the same I'm the same I'm the same

What do you want me to be

You are not alone

Dear loneliness

You forgot

But I remember this

Oh stranger stranger

Stranger things have happened, I know

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

I am not alone

Dear loneliness

I forgot

That I remember this

You are not alone

Dear loneliness

You forgot

But I remember this

Oh stranger stranger

Stranger things have happened, I know

I am not alone

Dear lonely miss

I forgot

That I remember this

Oh stranger stranger

Stranger things have happened, I know

Oh, oh

Oh, oh
