Lyrics John Doe - Tones and I

We were just strangers (strangers)
In a public place (in a public place)
We both just saw each other 'round town
Had nothin' to say

'Cause we were just hopeless people (hopeless people)
Going two different places
That's why I guess I'll never know your
Never know your name (never, never, never)

Oh, we are just strangers caught in a fire
Nothing can change us, each other's mind
Never be something, you'll never be mine
Oh, no, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life
I know nothin' about you, but that's alright
Yeah, there's somethin' about that look in your eyes
Oh, John Doe, tell me what you want

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life
I know nothin' about you, but that's alright
Yeah, there's somethin' about that look in your eyes
Oh, John Doe, tell me what you want, oh

You look like an angel (ah)
And I should've stayed (ah)
Oh, I can feel the butterflies cry
When you walked away (when you walked away)

But we are just broken people (ooh)
Going two different places (ooh)
That's why I guess I never know your (ah)
Never know your name (never know your name)

Oh, we are just strangers caught in a fire
Nothing can change us, each other's mind
Never be something, you'll never be mine
Oh, no, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life
I know nothin' about you, but that's alright
Yeah, there's somethin' about that look in your eyes
Oh, John Doe, tell me what you want

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life
I know nothin' about you, but that's alright
Yeah, there's somethin' about that look in your eyes
Oh, John Doe, tell me what you want, oh

Oh, and I could write you a song, over and over
Sing it again 'til we get closer
We could be friends, I would've known your name
Known your name

Write you a song over and over
Sing it again 'til we get closer
We could be friends, I would've known your name
Known your name

John Doe
I gotta know your name
I gotta know your name
John Doe, tell me what you want, oh
