I was sixteen 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 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, rememberin' your touch And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up In the arms of a stranger, pretendin' it's love Ah ooh, ooh ooh, stranger, stranger Ah ooh, ooh ooh, stranger, stranger I'm wrapped around your finger, stranger, stranger Ah ooh, ooh ooh, stranger, stranger 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 a 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, pretendin' it's love Holding her closely, rememberin' your touch And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up In the arms of a stranger, pretendin' it's love Ah ooh, ooh ooh, stranger, stranger Ah ooh, ooh ooh, stranger, stranger I'm wrapped around your finger, stranger, stranger Ah ooh, ooh ooh, stranger, stranger And she smelled like Michigan And it felt like lust And the nostalgia's killing me And it's all because Oh I'm in the arms of a stranger, pretendin' it's love Holding her closely, rememberin' your touch And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up In the arms of a stranger, pretendin' it's love Ah ooh, ooh ooh, stranger, stranger Holding her closely, stranger, stranger I'm wrapped around your finger, stranger, stranger I'm in the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love Ah ooh, ooh ooh
