"Unfamiliar" lyrics

"Unfamiliar"

Doesn't matter how you look at me
When all you know is what you see
A kind of love to make-believe
A kind of love to let me breathe
Doesn't matter just as long as it feels right
All I know is I want you now
The kind of love to make me feel
Like I've known you before

Like the ocean waves, hear me say
Just take my hand and walk away
Or leave this place without a trace
And run to the night

Can I just breathe the air, the air that you are breathing too?
And make amends while I fix myself to you?
Can we just find a way to stay this way?
Let me just find a way to make you stay
In this unfamiliar love

Doesn't matter just as long as it feels right
All I know is I want your loving
The kind of love to let me free
From the things I've done before

Like the ocean waves, hear me say
Just take my hand and drift away
Or leave this place without a trace
And run to the night

Can I just breathe the air, the air that you are breathing too?
And make amends while I fix myself to you?
Can we just find a way to stay this way?
Let me just find a way to make you stay
In this unfamiliar love

If the lights go off, then show me the way
To run from me now, to run away

Can I just breathe the air, the air that you are breathing too?
And make amends while I fix myself to you?
Can we just find a way to stay this way?
Let me just find a way to make you stay
In this unfamiliar love

(Can I just breathe the air
Can I just breathe the air)
Unfamiliar love
(Can I just breathe the air
Can I just breathe the air)
Unfamiliar love
So run away

December Avenue's Zel Bautista wrote this song to celebrate 2021 Valentine's Day. He shared with Bandwagon that with 'Unfamiliar', they tried a new approach to the songwriting, which has "somehow matured along with the sound". He explained further, "We're trying to reach a different market, global audience." Guitarist Jem Manuel added about the band's new music, "We wanted to make it sound fresh, so some of the songs have a lot of electronic elements which are somewhat new to Dec Ave's repertoire."
Keyboardist Gelo Cruz, who arranged this track, explained, "For 'Unfamiliar', Zel sent me a rough demo (vocals and acoustic)—I think first verse, chorus, and bridge pa lang siya nun. From that rough demo I already had an idea on what instruments/textures to use and which parts to tweak. The song is about unfamiliar love, so I tried to produce a track that's new and unfamiliar for our band and our listeners."
