STRANGE LOVEHere I am, falling now
Escaping from the town tasting the fruit that your lips allow
We dance on a railway
We’re dumb but that’s okay
Everyone just wants to have some fun
Drunk on a feelin we can’t fight anyway
We have a connection that doesn't make sense
We'll make it work, make it make sense
We got this kind of strange love
We’re enough yeah we’re in love
You put me down, I put you up
You’re the plus, I’m the minus
I'm the Bonnie to you're Clyde
We got this kind of strange love
We’re enough yeah we’re in loveNothing more than cool kids
Take my hand and write on it
To remember the times we were wasted
We are down for the ride I know places where to hide
Where we’ll dream bout what our future might be like
We got this kind of strange love
We’re enough yeah we’re in love
You put me down, I put you up
You’re the plus, I’m the minus
I'm the Bonnie to you're Clyde
We got this kind of strange love
We’re enough yeah we’re in loveCan’t stop, won’t stop holding it tight
Keep escaping from those eyes
Looking to making our love die
They tried, they’ll try but we’ll fight
We'll fight for that strange feeling
Make everything make sense again one day
I may be drunk but we'll be ok
Fightin that feeling
We got this kind of strange love
We’re enough yeah we’re in love
You put me down, I put you up
You’re the plus, I’m the minus
I'm the Bonnie to you're Clyde
We got this kind of strange love
We’re enough yeah we’re in love
We got this kind of strange love
We’re enough yeah we’re in love
You put me down, I put you up
You’re the plus, I’m the minus
