"Stranger" lyrics

I'm like a thousand miles away from you and I can't clear my head
Yes, I've been running on a loop stuck as I lay here in bed
Every word you spit out of that poisonous mouth
Well, I say poison but I'd take the effect any day, ay
Oh ah ah

God is this really bout to be another song about you
Well, its too late I couldn't change my mind if I wanted to
This ain't no sonnet or a haiku
Baby, song writing's what I do
Sonnets weren't what you expect anyway

I'm tryin'a break new ground
I'm tryin'a make new sound
I'm tryin'a take huge bounds in your direction
All of the time
I'm tryin'a find my voice
I'm tryin'a write new noise
I'm tryin'a like this choice of my refection
Like its mine

And I said
Hold on to your hat
This is exactly
How you said it would be
I know I can be stubborn
But if I had my druthers
I'd be coming home to somebody who's
Not like the others

And hold on to my hand
I've got a plan
Something I think would be
No, I'm not out to save you
You're not in any danger
I just aim to catch your name
And get to know you better
Stranger
Oh ah ah ah
Ah...

Am I to blame I go insane just playing tag with your phone
Who know I'd ever have to fight so hard to get you alone
Oh, we could have a few laughs
Maybe play pass and catch
But I'mma pass because I know you'll deflect any play

And is there any kind of meaning to the code that you use
Do you take pleasure out of leaving me these dumb little clues
This is not over yet
You're still in my net
And these statements piling up don't reflect any pay

I'm tryin'a break new ground
I'm tryin'a make new sound
I'm tryin'a take huge bounds in your direction
All of the time
I'm tryin'a find my voice
I'm tryin'a write new noise
I'm tryin'a light this choice of my refection
Like its mine

And I said
Hold on to your hat
This is exactly
How you said it would be
I know I can be stubborn
But if I had my druthers
I'd be coming home to somebody who's
Not like the others

And hold on to my hand
I've got a plan
Something I think would be
No, I'm not out to save you
You're not in any danger
I just aim to catch your name
And get to know you better
Stranger
Oh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah-oh, yeah

I'm tryin'a break new ground
I'm tryin'a make new sound
I'm tryin'a take huge bounds in your direction
Tryin'a find my voice
I'm tryin'a write new noise
I'm tryin'a to light this choice of my refection

Tryin'a break new ground
I'm tryin'a make new sound
I'm tryin'a take huge bounds in your direction
Tryin'a find my voice
I'm tryin'a write new noise
I'm tryin'a to light this choice of my refection

I said

Hold on to your hat
This is exactly
How you said it would be
I know I can be stubborn
But if I had my druthers
I'd be coming home to somebody who's
Not like the others

And hold on to my hand
I've got a plan
Something I think would be
No, I'm not out to save you
You're not in any danger
I just aim to catch your name
And- don't be a stranger

I'm not out to save you
You're not in any danger
I just wanna catch your name my stranger
I'm not out to save you I'm the fucking Texas Ranger
I just aim to catch your name and get to know you better, stranger

Oh ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah
