Those dark brown eyes and wavy hair look so fine

You wear oversized sweatshirts and tight blue jeans

And you have a necklace with a cross in it

 

​You say my smile lights up the room but it’s yours

The way you text when you’re drunk or green

And you have this big heart of gold

 

No, don’t leave in this endless summer afternoon

I know you are scared but I am too

Yeah, you can go ahead and play your games

I love them and I know you love them too

 

I put band aids on my heart, but band aids didn’t fix things that shatter

Your voice I heard, and that sound finally made it better

Lying in my bed, thinking why I love you so much more

All my life I have been looking for a beautiful stranger to fall for

 

Playing my favorite songs when you’re driving in the car

Dancing to your beats and three shot of tequila in the bar

And I pause to cherish this

 

No, don’t blame me if we slow down

I am a little scared of these paper towns

Yeah, just be patient while I get used to you

I love the wait and I know you love it too

 

I put bandaids on my heart, but band aids didn’t fix things that shatter

Your voice I heard, and that sound finally made it better

Lying in my bed, thinking why I love you so much more

All my life I have been looking for a beautiful stranger to fall for

 

Light all these candles and come sit next to me

Let’s look up and think of the starlight you see

I wake up in your arms, not a dream anymore

What if you are the beautiful stranger to fall for ~
