Song for a Stranger

I fell in love, and I fell in hard—
A love story straight from a song
I knew I was walking on dangerous ground
It felt right, but I knew it was wrong
It wasn’t at all like my usual style—
That’s what sets it apart;
I usually like to know someone a while
Before letting them into my heart
But you came along and you swept me
Off of my feet—I’m so fascinated by you
And I still don’t understand it, how I fell in love
With someone that I hardly knew

The first time we met, you looked so familiar
I swear I’d seen you before
And by the time that we parted, I had the strange feeling
That I’d be seeing you more
A week or so later, back at the beach
I’ve never had so much fun
We joked and we talked, we laughed and we drank
Oblivious to everyone
And I remember that first night, we stayed out so late
All inhibitions were gone
That first night our bodies connected, I fell in love
With someone that I hardly knew

Then there’s that night when we rode off together
It was just you and me
We spoke of the past and the present and future
Enjoying the company
The beach was aglow with the light of the moon
Casting its spell everywhere
Illuminating the waves on the shoreline,
Your eyes, and your golden hair
And when your hands gently touched me
We were both thinking straight—it sent such sensations through me
The moment our bodies entwined, I fell in love
With someone that I hardly knew

All that time we spent, I wish I knew
If my heart was being led on by you
And now that I’ve lost you it’s ironically sad
Cause I can’t lose what I never had

I think of each time that we were together
And wonder if you were aware
Of the way that I felt when I was around you
Or if you even cared
I used to tell myself you felt the same way—
A lie I believed all along
But you never called me to tell me goodbye
That’s when I realized I was wrong
So many times I’ve cried in the night
Alone in my bedroom—everything reminds me of you
And I vow that never again will I fall in love
With someone that I hardly knew
