Lyricist: Mike Posner     Composer: Mike Posner



I was sixteen with a rocket
And some sunshine in my pocket
It was how you used words I didn't know
And the way you said my name
And cut up peaches and them brown eyes

Little flame that we pretend doesn't glow
You know space and time
Wouldn't let you be mine
What I've come to understand

This entropy wouldn't leave you to me
I'm right back where I began
In the arms of a stranger
Pretending it's love
Holding her closely

Remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger
Even though I'm knocked up
In the arms of a stranger
Pretending it's love

There were times I think about us
Overcome by the nostalgias
I am on call when you need me, let me know
But we're drifting in a strange way
I'm aware that it's a mistake if I love you

It's a mistake if I don't
You know space and time
Wouldn't let you be mine
What I've come to understand
Thiss entropy wouldn't leave you to me
I'm right back where I began

In the arms of a stranger
Pretending it's love
Holding her closely
Remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger
Even though I'm knocked up

In the arms of a stranger
Pretending it's love
And she smelled like Michigan
And it felt like lust
And the nostalgia's killing me
And it's all because, oh

I'm in the arms of a stranger
Pretending it's love
Holding her closely
Remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger
Even though I'm knocked up

In the arms of a stranger, stranger, stranger
I'm in the arms of a stranger
Pretending it's love
Holding her closely
Remembering your touch

And I'm wrapped around your finger
Even though I'm knocked up
In the arms of a stranger
Pretending it's love
