"Strangers By Nature" lyrics

"Strangers By Nature"

I'll be taking flowers to the cemetery of my heart
For all of my lovers in the present and in the dark
Every anniversary I'll pay respects and say I'm sorry
For they never stood a chance as if they could
When no one knows what it's like to be us

I've never seen the sky this colour before
It's like I'm noticing everything a little bit more
Now that all the dust has settled
I rebut all my rebuttals
No one knows what it's like to be us

Strangers by nature
Strangers by nature

Will I ever get there?
Oh, I hope that someday I'll learn
To nurture what I've done

Uh, huh, hm
Uh, huh, hm, hm, hm
Uh, huh, hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm, hm
Alright then, I'm ready


Writer(s): Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, Ludwig Emil Tomas Goransson
Adele got the idea for "Strangers By Nature" after watching the film "Judy" starring Renée Zellweger as Judy Garland. According to Adele's interview for Rolling Stone in November, 2021, she then asked herself why nobody wrote such songs anymore. She explained, "You know in the old movies when someone's having a flashback or a memory to something else, and it's almost like they'll shoot a river or a pond and the water goes all ripply? It reminds me of that." Adele co-wrote this with famous soundtracks composer Ludwig Göransson.
