Stranger in My Head

You comfort me with your strange elusive smile
You make me laugh, if even for a little while
And when I’m down you make me feel like I could fly
And still survive

It seems I have these conversations I can't hide
I speak my mind and tell you how I feel inside
No judgement, no recriminations,
I am safe with you
And so secure

but who are you this stranger in my head
that I can only see when I’m in bed
I wish I could remember what we said and did
it all remains a mystery, intangible, a dream
cause you are just a stranger in my head

In my dream state I see the things I wish were true
I think my world is somewhat jaded and unclear
If I could find the perfect person would you still be here with me
Would I need you

but who are you this stranger in my head
that I can only see when I’m in bed
I wish I could remember what we said and did
it all remains a mystery, intangible, a dream
cause you are just a stranger in my head

Maybe I am too afraid to live
Maybe I don’t want to let this go
Maybe I am searching for someone
I recognise as you, awake

cause who are you this stranger in my head
that I can only see when I’m in bed
I wish I could remember what we said and did
it all remains a mystery, intangible, a dream
cause you are just a stranger in my head

You’re just a stranger in my head
You’re just a stranger in my head
