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
 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, 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

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, 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

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, 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
