Strangers

Lyrics
Woahhh
Expression of surprise or emphasis.
Woahhh
Repetition for emphasis, possibly indicating a strong emotion.
Woah
Continuation of the emotional expression.
I really wish that I could go back in time
Expressing a desire to go back in time.
Wanna relive all the days that you were all mine
Desire to relive moments when the person was together with someone special.
Trading secrets through the night on the FaceTime
Recalling intimate moments spent communicating through FaceTime.
And telling you all the things about my life
Sharing personal details about life with the other person.
And I know everything about you now
Claiming to know everything about the other person now.
I know all the things that make you smile
Acknowledging knowledge of things that bring joy to the other person.
I was there to pick you up when you were down
Having been supportive in the past when the other person was feeling down.
Now I haven't heard from you in a while
Expressing a sense of distance or lack of communication recently.
Girl I wish that I could have you back in my life
Expressing a strong desire to have the person back in their life.
So many times I thought about hitting your line
Revealing thoughts about reaching out to the person.
Too many days have passed without you by my side
Noting the passage of time without the person by their side.
How many nights will pass before you hit my line?
Pondering how much time will pass before the person contacts them.
Now we becoming more like strangers
Observing a growing distance or unfamiliarity between them.
How'd we drift apart now girl what changed us?
Posing a question about what caused the drift or change in the relationship.
The more we drift apart girl I grow anxious
Expressing anxiety as the distance between them increases.
No I can't believe there's nothing remaining
Expressing disbelief that nothing is left in the relationship.
I heard you were with another guy
Learning about the other person being with someone else.
And I saw you out you didn't bat an eye
Noting the person's apparent indifference when seen in public.
And I saw you took me off of the private
Observing removal from private or personal spaces.
I don't know if I'm gonna survive this
Expressing uncertainty about surviving the emotional pain.
That used to be me
Reflecting on a past version of oneself in the relationship.
Now can't you see?
Asking the other person if they can see the change in the speaker.
That I have lost the perfect girl
Expressing the loss of an idealized relationship.
That I have lost a part of my world
Acknowledging the significant impact on their world.
Girl I wish that I could have you back in my life
Repeating the desire to have the person back in their life.
So many times I thought about hittin your line
Reiterating thoughts about reaching out to the person.
Too many days have passed without you by my side
