Stranger

Secondhand Serenade · A Twist In My Story [2008]

Turn Around

Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction

So there is a connection

I can't speak

I can't make a sound to somehow capture your attention

I'm staring at perfection

Take a look at me so you can see

How beautiful you are



You call me a stranger

You say I'm a danger

But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight

I'm broke and abandoned

You are an angel

Making all my dreams come true tonight



I'm confident

But I can't pretend I wasn't terrified to meet you

I knew you could see right through me

I saw my life flash right before my very eyes

And I knew just what we'd turn into

I was hoping that you could see

Take a look at me so you can see



You call me a stranger

You say I'm a danger

But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight

I'm broke and abandoned

You are an angel

Making all my dreams come true tonight



You are an angel

Making all my dreams come true tonight



Take a look at me so you can see

How beautiful you are

[x4]



Your beauty seems so far away

I'd have to write a thousand songs

To make you comprehend how beautiful you are



I know that I can't make you stay

But I would give my final breath

To make you understand how beautiful you are

Understand how beautiful you are



You call me a stranger

You say I'm a danger

But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight

I'm broke and abandoned

You are an angel

Making all my dreams come true tonight



You call me a stranger

You say I'm a danger

You call me a stranger
