Strangers (For Dave) - Luke Johnson (Prod. RRAREBEAR)

It started off with wrestlers, little ninja turtles
Playing in the park, spinning in a circle
He-man and Thundercats,
Gangster raps
We had no one on our backs,
Just bags of snacks

Living like nothing really mattered
In the park chatting
Playing footy for hours and then we’d start smashing
Buttons on gameboy, in your living room
Your little brother Andy chilling there too

It was a crazy time to be alive
Back when Summer wasn’t a time, to be inside
Everybody on their bikes on a sunny day
Ringing up each other asking if we wanna play

Basking in the sun rays
But things were bout to take a turn
Soon wed be buying cider and little bags of burn
Getting pissed up under the slide
Oh what a life
Wasn’t long before those good old days changed
to days of harsh rain hey

This ent a life I ever wanted to live
I’m reminiscing bout when we used to be kids
You and me, mate
Whatever happened to the days
When we actually had a laugh
And there wasn’t a worry ever in our teams way
These days its all changed its a fools game
Every time I see ya mate, its all strange
Its like we barely even know each other
I just wish we could go back to how it was
I love you my brother

Time passed and we grew apart
You wanted to drink, I wanted to drug, it was too dark
One of the us was on the beers
Other one was on the pills
Trying to deal with the fear that was in our hearts

We needed a new start, but we couldn’t see
The drugs and drink were killing us it was idiocy
Slowly getting torn apart on the inside
And getting torn apart from each other on the outside

It sounds like we should have gone to rehab or summin
But we were so lost, thinking that the devil was God
It must have been the drink and the drugs
Mixing us up, and leaving us fucked, combined with the rebel in us

Eventually it all ended and I barely saw ya
I never came round to your house and I never called ya
And ever since then its never been the same bruv
We were brothers now we’re nothing but a couple strangers

This ent a life I ever wanted to live
I’m reminiscing bout when we used to be kids
You and me, mate
Whatever happened to the days
When we actually had a laugh
And there wasn’t a worry ever in our teams way
These days its all changed its a fools game
Every time I see ya mate, its all strange
Its like we barely even know each other
I just wish we could go back to how it was
I love you my brother
