Can We Be Strangers - Brandy Clark

I’d’ve skipped that party

Yeah, I never would’ve gone

If I could see the future

I would’ve just stayed home

You’d be a name I didn’t know

In some idle conversation

With a laugh I never loved

And lips I never tasted

I don’t wanna want you

I don’t wanna love you

I don’t wanna hate you

Or even care enough to

We struck out as lovers

We struck out as friends

Is it too much to ask

Can we be strangers

Again?

Sunny, Sunday mornings

Yeah, they wouldn’t hurt so bad

Songs about New Orleans

Wouldn’t make me so damn sad

You wouldn’t be that number

I’ve deleted seven times

Or that hammer in my chest

When someone orders Crown and Sprite

I don’t wanna want you

I don’t wanna love you

I don’t wanna hate you

Or even care enough to

We struck out as lovers

We struck out as friends

Is it too much to ask

Can we be strangers?

You don’t miss some place you’ve never been

Some face that you ain’t ever met

No, you don’t have to remember

What you ain’t ever had to forget

I don’t wanna want you

I don’t wanna love you

I don’t wanna hate you

Or even care enough to

We struck out as lovers

We struck out as friends

Is it too much to ask

Can we be strangers

Again?

Can we be strangers

Again?

Again?
