[Verse 1]
Goddamn this dusty room
This hazy afternoon
I'm breathing in this silence like never before
This feeling that I get
This one last cigarette
As I lay awake and wait for you to come through that door
Oh, maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you
I behave, I behave, I behave so I can share it with you

[Chorus]
You are not alone, dear loneliness
You forgot, but I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
I'm not alone, dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
And I dream about somewhere
A smoke will fill the air
As I lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door
I can change, I can change, I can change
But who you want me to be?
I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm the same
Oh do you want me to be?

[Bridge]
You are not alone, dear loneliness
You forgot, but I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm not alone, dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
You are not alone, dear loneliness
You forgot, but I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
I'm not alone, dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
Oh, stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
