In the Arms of a Stranger - In the Arms of a Stranger lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Little flame that we pretend doesn't glow [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love Holding her closely, remember your touch And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's lov [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love Holding her closely, remember your touch And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love [Bridge] And she smelled like Michigan And it felt like lust And the nostalgia's k**ing me And it's all because [Chorus] I'm in the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love Holding her closely, remember your touch And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up In the arms of a stranger, stranger, stranger In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love Holding her closely, remember your touch And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
