The Stranger
Embracing Love's Unexpected Journey
Lyrics
Waiting wanting
Expressing a state of anticipation and desire.
To see you in my eyes
Yearning to witness the other person reflected in one's own eyes.
Finding feelings
Discovering emotions that were thought to be buried or hidden.
That I thought were buried inside.
Uncovering deep feelings that were believed to be dormant.
because I never thought that I
Expressing disbelief in the capacity to love intensely.
Could ever love like this
Surprised by the ability to love in a profound way.
But you have
Acknowledging that the other person has proven a previous assumption wrong.
Proven me wrong.
Recognizing that one's perspective has been challenged and changed.
you the stranger who took a chance
Referring to the romantic partner as a stranger who took a risk.
Held me at a distance so I could see myself.
Describing how the stranger's distance allowed self-reflection.
So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
Expressing gratitude for what the stranger gave unknowingly.
And thank you for letting me fall in love
Thanking for the freedom to fall in love without reservation.
Without withholding
Without withholding
-so let me in now
Expressing readiness to enter a deeper connection or commitment.
I am ready to move
Encountering fear and resistance from the other person.
And here comes fear and resistance from you
Questioning the need to wait despite willingness.
And for once I am willing and now what i?ve got to wait?
these lessons are everywhere in my life
Reflecting on life's lessons being present everywhere.
You know I never waited for anyone and I was always right
Admitting to a change in perspective, embracing surrender.
But ya, now I give up I surrender
Expressing a willingness to wait indefinitely.
I would wait for you...forever
Committing to waiting for the other person forever.
you the stranger who took a chance
Reiterating the stranger's role in prompting self-reflection.
Held me at a distance so I could see myself
Expressing gratitude for the distant perspective provided.
So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
Thanking for the gifts received unknowingly.
And thank you for letting me fall in love with you
Expressing gratitude for the freedom to love without reservation.
Without withholding
Without withholding
-so come on and test me
Challenging the other person to test and try the connection.
Go on and try it
Asserting confidence in fitting perfectly with the other person.
Because I know that I fit perfectly inside you
Stating that denying the love would be denying one's heart.
And to deny this love would be to deny your heart
Anticipating that the other person might be the one to end the relationship.
And you?re going be the one who breaks it
Warning of potential heartbreak if the other person chooses to leave.
Baby if you choose to walk!
yeah, you the stranger who took a chance
Reiterating the stranger's role and the risk taken.
Held me at a distance so I could see myself
Expressing gratitude for the distant perspective provided.
So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
Thanking for the gifts received unknowingly.
And thank you for letting me fall in love...
Expressing gratitude for the freedom to love without reservation.
Yeah, you the stranger who took a chance
Held me at a distance so I could see myself
-So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
-And thank you for letting me fall in love
Expressing gratitude for the gifts received unknowingly.
Without withholding
Thanking for the freedom to fall in love without reservation.
Without withholding.
