In The Arms Of A Stranger - Mike Posner

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
