i walked home, you drove off.   you probably slept more than i did.   the monkey wrench inside my chest   told me not to run.      from a stranger to a stranger:   "why don't we talk a while?   i've got nothing to lose    but the chance to make you smile."      just be calm, just be cool,   and i won't make any sudden moves.   and while you wait   i'll try to say a joke or two you haven't heard.      from a stranger to a stranger:   "we both could do much worse.   so i hope that one of these nights   you'll use that number in your purse   cuz lonliness is who i know.   perhaps he's someone you know,   a mutual friend of ours."      i'm a nerd, you're a queen.   so how about a date?   i didn't know you saw the show.   i thought i saw you leave.      from a stranger to a stranger:   "i could use a ride back home."      i could point out the stars   and we won't have to sleep alone, alone.   this lonliness is who i know.   perhaps he's someone you know.      there's a million words   that i've been saving for a rainy day,   and a million tricks that i could use,   and i'd use them all at once   if that's what i have to do.      i'll find a way to make you stay,   at least until i find another reason, anyway.      i haven't felt this way   since my first day of school.   it's a wish for me to make history with you, with you.      there's a million words   i've been saving for a rainy day,   and a million tricks that i could use,   and i'd juse them all at once   if that's what i have to do.      i'd find a way to make you stay,   least till i find another reason, anyway.   until i find another reason. (2x)      i'd find a way to make you stay   until i find another reason.   (3x)
