Lyrics

Stranger In a Room (Live 2016)

[Verse 1: Oliver Sim]

You wanna disappear in a crowd

Just a stranger in a room

Wanna change your colours just for the night

With no word of it following you home

No word of it following you home

No word of it following you home

No word of it

[Chorus: Oliver Sim]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You're just a stranger in a room

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You're just a stranger in a room

[Verse 2: Oliver Sim]

Tonight, I fell for the outline

Of someone I've wanted to know

'Cause here under the blue lights

There's always someone I've wanted to know

With no way of it working back home

No way of it working back home

No way of it working back home

No way of it

[Bridge: Oliver Sim]

And I don't wanna waste my time

On an unfamiliar ride

Been looking in from the outside

Are you coming in?

[Chorus: Oliver Sim]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You're just a stranger in a room

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You're just a stranger in a room
