"Stranger" lyrics

"Stranger"

Something's got my head repeating melodies
Something kept me slipping into fever dreams
Of writing on the mirror that I cannot read
I woke up to find a stranger sleeping next to me

I know it hurts, I know you try
You know I'd rather live a lie than let you down
You can come around any time you want and I'll be here
If somebody hurts you, if somebody tries
Just give me their name, baby, I wanna fight for you
But you won't fight for me

Something's got you straying into darker seas
Something's got you wandering away from me
Love notes on your palms, darling, where have you been?
I fell asleep and saw a stranger pressed against your skin

Wake me up and take me home
If you won't hold me then I wanna go
You say I'm crazy when you know I'm right
It's what's keeping you up all night
It's in her eyes, it's in my chest
Beating so fucking hard, I feel like I'm gonna die
So I want to know
If she's got your body who's got your soul?
