[Verse 1]
Flicker of the neon sign
Dust on the pinball glass
Posters curling at the edges
Time stuck in the past
Walkie on the table
Static in your call
You say you’re fine, you’re “totally fine”
But I hear something crawl
[Chorus]
Stranger things in the dark of this town
Shadows crawl when the power goes down
You and me in the glow of the screen
Trying to outrun things we’ve never seen
Stranger things in the corners of night
Holding hands while we’re killing the lights
If the world flips, if it all falls through
I’ll stay right here in the weird with you
[Verse 2]
Bikes on the backroad, breath like steam
Houses all asleep, we’re cracked at the seams
Letters on the wall start spelling your name
You laugh it off, but your eyes look strange
Compass spinning circles
Pointing where it shouldn’t go
You say “turn back” but your feet move forward
Guess we have to know
[Chorus]
Stranger things in the dark of this town
Shadows crawl when the power goes down
You and me in the glow of the screen
Trying to outrun things we’ve never seen
Stranger things in the corners of night
Holding hands while we’re killing the lights
If the world flips, if it all falls through
I’ll stay right here in the weird with you
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to bass and toms, synth pad swells]
Breathing shallow
Floorboards shake
Are we dreaming
Wide awake
If the ceiling
Starts to split (oh)
Promise me
We don’t quit
[Chorus]
Stranger things in the dark of this town
Shadows crawl when the power goes down
You and me in the glow of the screen
Trying to outrun things we’ve never seen
Stranger things in the corners of night
Holding hands while we’re killing the lights
If the world flips, if it all falls through
I’ll stay right here in the weird with you
