Paul Fox - Stranger in my Head Lyrics

Saw you standing across the room
In that moment, you lit the gloom
Heart beats faster, caught off guard
Can't believe you're real, here we are

I catch your eyes, a glance, then shy
Look away before you spy
The way you've got me spinning round
I'm lost for words, can't make a sound

How do I start? Where do I go?
Do I walk up or keep it low?
Every move feels like a dance
Should I take the chance?

Oh, stranger, with the perfect smile
Stay a moment, just a while
I'm caught between the fear and thrill
Can't hold back, but I'm standing still

One step closer, then back again
In my mind, I'll pretend
That I'm braver than I feel
Wishing this was real

You're laughing, I hear the sound
Feels like music, I'm spellbound
Imagining words I'd say
Yet somehow, they fade away

My friends are watching, pushing near
They laugh and cheer, but it's clear
I'm too tangled in my mind
Trying to find the perfect line

What if I trip? What if I fall?
It feels like I'm up against a wall
I don't even know your name
But I'm drawn like a flame

Oh, stranger, with the perfect smile
Stay a moment, just a while
I'm caught between the fear and thrill
Can't hold back, but I'm standing still

One step closer, then back again
In my mind, I'll pretend
That I'm braver than I feel
Wishing this was real

I take a breath, swallow the fear
Move closer, now you're near
With trembling hands and racing heart
This is where I'll start

Oh, stranger, you turn to me
Eyes that dance, I start to breathe
My voice shakes but I push through
"Hi, nice to meet you"
