Arms of a Stranger Lyrics

[Chorus]
My heart, my heart, callin' out to you
In the arms of a stranger, callin' out to you
And we don't even talk anymore
Never knew separation anxiety before
And every time the leaves start changing
It's the loneliest time of year


[Verse 1]
Wait, hold on, bae, look, you don't have to leave let's talk it out
If you say you're no longer happy, you can turn around

Burn all my belongings if you can't figure it out
I don't really need those things anyhow
But every time the lights go down in the room
Made a mistake that unrolled alotta strain on me and you
Never meant to say all those things causing so much pain
Now my thoughts on the floor so confused
Listen to—

[Chorus]
My heart, my heart, callin' out to you
In the arms of a stranger, callin' out to you
And we don't even talk anymore
Never knew separation anxiety before
And every time the leaves start changing
It's the loneliest time of year

[Verse 2]
My favorite book's The Notebook by author Nicholas Sparks
Built a staircase just to runaway, but she won't make it far
Every time the leaves start changing we're lonely just like before
And I don't really need those things anyhow
Her bein' the reason why I can smile

Settle down, think I know a real fly place
A coffee shop around the block from where I once stayed (Get 'em, Gates)

[Chorus]
My heart, my heart, callin' out to you
In the arms of a stranger, callin' out to you
And we don't even talk anymore
Never knew separation anxiety before
And every time the leaves start changing
It's the loneliest time of year

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
