We Might As Well Be Strangers

Keane

I don't know your face no more
Or feel the touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in another town
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be strangers
Be strangers

For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know

    General CommentThe way it relates to me is a relationship that ended...and then the two grew apart//couldn't be friends anymore. And the person doesn't understand the other anymore, even though they were once very very close. You miss them for who you knew them as.

    It's an amazing song.

    Song MeaningI take this songs meaning as 2 people who are still together but their relationship has broke down and they dont know each other anymore, like they have grew apart or perhaps on her part she's stopped loving him. However he still suggests in the song that he is still in love with her and longs for her but her rejection and his lack of understand her feelings and heart makes things "easier to be apart"

    The lyrics "we might as well be strangers" suggests they are together, its talking about present tense, not past tense also this is backed up by the line "we're strangers in an empty space" which suggests they share time or space with each other.

    General CommentOne of my favourites...simple yet so beautiful, and the way it builds so briefly and then drops away again is brilliant.

    General Commenti think its like... a friendship/relationship that seems to fade without any real known reason.... like there's no concrete break up, or fight, or anything. you just kind of grow apart.
