The stubble on your face must have a place
The little pieces of me that remained on you
I'm surprised you even came
I thought my name would send you running
When it lit up your phone
Oh, how much I wanted to say
But I got caught up in the way you said
You hadn't heard any of my songs
So I wrote this one for you
Am I the stranger in your wildest dreams?
And when you can't sleep at night, do you ever think of me? 'Cause somedays I get lost in my head
And I wonder what it would be like to be
In yours instead, yours instead
So we talk about our days
The ways we changed and what we knew
From a world long ago
All your edges, they feel harder
And you're guarded, boy, I wonder
What your brother thinks of me
Oh, how much I wanted to say
But I got caught up in the way you said
You hadn't heard any of my songs
So I wrote this one for you
Am I the stranger in your wildest dreams?
And when you can't sleep at night, do you ever think of me? 'Cause somedays I get lost in my head
And I wonder what it would be like to be
In yours instead, yours instead
You didn't leave the light on for me
And who could blame you?
I would've done the same
And I feel nostalgia wash over me
But I don't mind it
I'll always wish you well
Am I the stranger in your wildest dreams?
And when you can't sleep at night, do you ever think of me? 'Cause somedays I get lost in my head
And I wonder what it would be like to be
In yours instead, yours instead
