Strangers That Start The Fire

[Intro]
Didn’t see you
Didn’t see this
Wrong place, wrong time
Perfect twist (hey!)
[Verse 1]
I was sleepwalking through my own skin
Clock in, clock out, fake grin, same spin
Friends on mute, heart on airplane mode
Ghost in a crowd on a dead-end road
Then you crashed in loud like a siren
Laugh like a match in a gas-filled silence
Said, “You look bored, wanna wreck this night?”
And the floor gave way underneath my life
[Pre-Chorus]
How does a stranger
Read my scars like lines?
How does one moment
Cut the cage from my spine?
[Chorus]
Strangers that start the fire
Show up and burn my wires
You tore my old world down
Built a kingdom on the ruins of this town
Unexpected, uninvited
Now my whole damn soul is rewired
Strangers that start the fire
Yeah, you changed my life like a riot (woah)
[Verse 2]
We were moshing all the fear from our chests
Shouting bad jokes, sweat, smoke, no rest
You said, “You’re not broken, you’re just mid-song”
Made my worst days feel like they belong
Now we turn red lights into green light races
Ink our pain into fearless phrases
Every scar I tried to hide away
You traced like roads to a better day (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
How does a stranger
Flip my script so fast?
How does one late night
Outrun years of my past?
[Chorus]
Strangers that start the fire
Show up and burn my wires
You tore my old world down
Built a kingdom on the ruins of this town
Unexpected, uninvited
Now my whole damn soul is rewired
Strangers that start the fire
Yeah, you changed my life like a riot (hey!)
[Bridge]
I was one more lost cause
Talking tough, all pause
You kicked in my locked doors
Dragging truth through the floors
Now every “never” that pinned me down
You turned to battle paint, war-cry sound
Didn’t plan this, didn’t ask, didn’t pray
But you walked in wild
And the dark walked away
[Chorus]
Strangers that start the fire
Show up and burn my wires
You tore my old world down
Built a kingdom on the ruins of this town
Unexpected, uninvited
Now my whole damn soul is rewired
Strangers that start the fire
Yeah, you changed my life like a riot
[Outro]
Didn’t see you
Didn’t see this
Wrong place, wrong time
Perfect twist (woah)
