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 know your, never know your)

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, and I should've stayed
Oh, I can feel the butterflies cry, when you walked away (when you walked away)
But we are just broken people, going two different places
That's why I guess I never know your, 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, ayy
I gotta know your name
I gotta know your name
John Doe, tell me what you want, oh
