Melissa Ferrick - The Stranger lyrics

rate me

waiting wanting

to see you in my eyes

finding feelings

that I thought were buried inside.

because I never thought that I

could ever love like this

but you have

proven me wrong.

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

without withholding

without withholding

so let me in now

I am ready to move

and here comes fear and resistance from you

and for once I am willing and now what i’ve got to wait?

these lessons are everywhere in my life

you know I never waited for anyone and I was always right

but ya, now I give up I surrender

I would wait for you...forever

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 with you

without withholding

without withholding

so come on and test me

go on and try it

because I know that I fit perfectly inside you

and to deny this love would be to deny your heart

and you’re going be the one who breaks it

baby if you choose to walk!

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...

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

without withholding

without withholding.
