(Verse 1)
I was just a child when the night called my name,
Same silent heartbeat, different face, same flame.
Every time you’d find me, every time you’d leave,
Morning stole the answers I could never keep.
I’d wake up shaking, tears I couldn’t explain,
Holding on to echoes that dissolved like rain.
Every single dream left a mark unseen…
Who the hell are you, and what does it all mean?
(Pre-Chorus)
Every year you came a little closer…
Every year I loved you a little more…
(Chorus)
You’re the stranger in my dreams,
Tearing at the seams.
Every time I wake,
You’re the ghost I cannot break.
Different eyes…
Different names…
Why’s it always feel the same?
I don’t know your face…
But I know your soul.
You’re the stranger in my dreams…
And you’ve always had control.
(Verse 2)
Years kept turning, but you never disappeared,
Every dream more vivid, every whisper crystal clear.
Every touch electric, every kiss like wildfire…
Then you’d fade to black before my heart could climb higher.
I chased your shadow through a thousand different skies,
Searching every stranger with familiar-looking eyes.
Every story ended just before the truth…
Like somebody was hiding you.
(Bridge)
Then the silence cracked…
Like thunder in my head.
It was never different people…
Never random.
Never fate.
Every mask…
Every lifetime…
Every dream…
Was the same man waiting.
(Final Chorus)
You’re the stranger in my dreams,
Hidden underneath.
Every face you wore
Only pulled me closer.
Different eyes…
Different names…
One heartbeat inside the frame.
Now I know the truth…
I can feel it move…
It was never strangers…
It was always…
You.
