White, silicon eyes, watching storms, sitting quiet
Reading books in the heat of city lights
Bored, everyone's bored
When I'm restless, put me under the night life stars
And I will feel grounded
 
I know I'm just a girl
But can I change lives?
If I am nothing, if I am trying, I think I can
I step on broken glass, and dream of soft clouds
When feelings are heavy they become all we are
 
And we become night time dreamers
And street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
 
The quiet lust belongs to all of us
And drives us closer into the madness
Of the world, of a girl
(And it suits me just fine)
'Cause everyone dies, and nobody loves
And somebody dies right now
I hear the quiet, sweet music that no one sings
 
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
 
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
 
Then we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
 
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while, nothing can die)
Daydreamers.

All I want is nothing more
To hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die a happy man I'm sure
 
But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
 
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody
Like you, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You
Like you
 
But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
 
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody
Like you, oh, oh!

STRANGERS

CITY AND COLOUR
SONGWRITER: DALLAS GREEN
COUNTRY: CANADA
ALBUM: A PILL FOR LONELINESS
LABEL: STILL RECORDS
GENRE: ALTERNATIVE
YEAR: 2019
 
     Dallas Michael John Albert Green(born September 29, 1980) is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter and record producer who records under the name City and Colour. He is also known for his contributions as a singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. In 2005, he debuted his first full-length album, Sometimes, which achieved platinum certification in 2006. City and Colour began performing in small intimate venues between Alexisonfire tours. The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour. His reasoning for the name was that he felt uneasy "putting the album out under the name Dallas Green".
          "Strangers" is a single released by Canadian artist City and Colour on 21 June 2019, the second single released from A Pill for Loneliness. Dallas Green has said of the track in a statement “You’ll never really understand what it’s like to be inside someone else’s brain or heart. So, we need to appreciate the differences. If we do, maybe we can live better with one another.”
          The music video was released on 8 August 2019, co-directed by Chris Verene and Michael Maxxis, who Green had previously collaborated with on Alexisonfire's video for Familiar Drugs.
Don't wake me when this is over
Just let me drift amidst my dreams
I need to regain composure
And right now my heart is still and asleep
I refuse to believe
That we've become so obsolete
Don't wake me when this is over
'Cause I need to find the time lost in between
 
If we get back (Get back)
To loving each other (Loving each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learning how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back
To learning how to live?
 
We look to the heavens above
For advice on our lives
Searching for God at the bottoms of bottles
And in strangers' eyes
We're living in desperation
Drowning in medication
Lost in the folly of our age
 
If we get back (Get back)
To loving each other (Loving each other)
Can we get back (Get back)
To learning how to live?
We are strangers in this land
With so much left to discover
Can we get back
To learning how to live?
 
We are strangers in this land
We are strangers in this land.

Nous n'irons plus jamais
Où tu m'as dit je t'aime
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Tu viens de décider
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Ce soir c'est plus la peine
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
Capri, c'est fini
 
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
 
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Où tu m'as dit je t'aime
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
Parfois je voudrais bien
Te dire recommençons
Mais je perds le courage
Sachant que tu diras non
Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
 
De mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
 
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Mais je me souviendrais
Du premier rendez-vous
Que tu m'avais donné
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Plus jamais, plus jamais
 
Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
Capri, oh c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Capri, oh c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
 
Oh capri, oh c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Oh capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
Oh capri, oh c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Oh capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour.
