[Verse 1]
You asked if the seat was taken
I said, "Only by my coat"
You laughed like we were old friends
Then forgot the train to go
You had a paper coffee cup
With a name I couldn't read
And a tiny tear in your blue sleeve
That you didn't seem to see
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know your middle name
Or where you disappear to
But something in the way you stayed
Made me want to follow you
[Chorus]
Stranger, stranger, look what you started
One little hello and my guard came apart
I don't know your story, but I know this feeling
Like a locked door swinging wide when you walk in
Stranger, stranger, don't leave it to chance
Give me one more minute, give me one more glance
If this is a mistake, let it be a beautiful one
I think I'm falling for a stranger
[Verse 2]
You showed me a faded photograph
Of a dog you had at ten
I told you about my sister
And the trouble that she's in
The station signs kept changing
People hurried past our feet
But the whole world got quieter
Every time you looked at me
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know your favorite song
Or the place you call your home
But the closer that you stand to me
The less I want to go
[Chorus]
Stranger, stranger, look what you started
One little hello and my guard came apart
I don't know your story, but I know this feeling
Like a locked door swinging wide when you walk in
Stranger, stranger, don't leave it to chance
Give me one more minute, give me one more glance
If this is a mistake, let it be a beautiful one
I think I'm falling for a stranger
[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow we forget this night
Maybe your number fades from mine
But right now, your hand is next to my hand
And that's enough to change my mind
[Final Chorus]
Stranger, stranger, look what you started
One little hello and my guard came apart
Now I want your story, every twist and feeling
Every wrong turn that brought you here to me
Stranger, stranger, don't leave it to chance
Give me one more minute, give me one more glance
If this is a mistake, let it be a beautiful one
I think I'm falling, falling for a stranger
[Outro]
The train doors closed behind us
You smiled and said, "What's your name?"
