这首歌的主题容易引起听者的共鸣,那个曾经认识的人如今已经成了最熟悉的陌生人,歌手抱着吉他轻声哼唱,更有亲切感,好像在讲述身边甚至和自己一样的故事,其实每个人的初恋结果都不太美好,就像歌词中写的,往往对方会装作不认识你,心里对初恋的美好怀念撞上对方冷冰冰的眼神是一件很难过的事...

　　Now and then I think of when we were together Somebody That I Used To Know
　　偶尔想起那一起的日子
　　Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
　　仿佛还是你快乐至极的时刻
　　Told myself that you were right for me
　　告诉自己 你就是我想要的
　　But felt so lonely in your company
　　可是有了你的陪伴 并没有减少我的孤单
　　But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
　　那就是爱 就是那忘不掉的疼
　　You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
　　对于某个伤痛都会沉迷的你
　　Like resignation to the end
　　最后却好像无可奈何
　　Always the end
　　总是这样到最后
　　So when we found that we could not make sense
　　所以当我们感情也平淡的时候
　　Well you said that we would still be friends
　　你会说我们还是朋友吧
　　But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
　　我承认我愿意结束这样的感情
　　But you didn't have to cut me off
　　可是你不必这样远离我
　　Make out like it never happened
　　好像我们曾经什么也没有过
　　And that we were nothing
　　好像我们从不曾来过
　　And I don't even need your love
　　我甚至可以不需要你的爱
　　But you treat me like a stranger
　　可是你却视我如路人
　　And that feels so rough
　　我是如此难过
　　You didn't have to stoop so low
　　你不必如此躲开我（把我们的关系降低到比正常还要低，弯腰的程度）
　　Have your friends collect your records
　　你的朋友整理了你的讯息了么
　　And then change your number
　　改变了你的号码了么
　　I guess that I don't need that though
　　我想我不必在有这样那样的想法了
　　Now you're just somebody that I used to know
　　现在的你只是我曾经认识的某某而已
　　Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
　　偶尔想起所有缠绵的日子
　　But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
　　可是让我相信的我们曾经的事 也只有它
　　And I don't wanna live that way

　　Reading into every word you say
　　看穿你说的每句话
　　You said that you could let it go
　　你说你可以放手
　　And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
