In the Arms of a Stranger |
I was 16 with a rocket |
And some sunshine in my pocket |
It was how you used words I didn’t know |
And the way you said my name |
And cut up peaches and them brown eyes |
Lit a flame up that we pretend doesn’t glow |
You know space and time wouldn’t let you be mine |
What I’ve come to understand |
Is entropy wouldn’t leave you to me |
I’m right back where I began |
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it’s love |
Holding her closely, remembering your touch |
And I’m wrapped around your finger, even though I’m locked up |
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it’s love |
There were times I think about us |
Overcome by the nostalgias |
I am on call when you need me, let me know |
But we’re drifting in a strange way |
I’m aware that it’s mistake if I love you |
It’s a mistake if I don’t |
You know space and time wouldn’t let you be mine |
What I’ve come to understand |
Is entropy wouldn’t leave you to me |
I’m right back where I began |
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it’s love |
Holding her closely, remembering your touch |
And I’m wrapped around your finger, even though I’m locked up |
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it’s love |
And she smelled like Michigan |
And it felt like lust |
And the nostalgia’s killing me |
And it’s all because |
I’m in the arms of a stranger, pretending it’s love |
Holding her closely, remembering your touch |
And I’m wrapped around your finger, even though I’m locked up |
In the arms of a stranger, stranger, stranger |
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it’s love |
Holding her closely, remembering your touch |
And I’m wrapped around your finger, even though I’m locked up |
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it’s love |
