Perfect Stranger

I wish you would realize, why a tear runs down my cheek.
And why I have a loss for words, every time you speak.
Don’t you ever realize, that you and I could be,
Together for all of time, and for all eternity.

CHORUS #1
I just wish I wasn’t so shy, so that every time you look my way.
I could walk over to you, and tell you what I want to say.
“I just wish it could be this way, I want you to want me too,”
And yet I can’t say out loud, that I’m in love with you.


I wish you would take my hands, and pull me close to you,
Look in my eyes, and know what I’m feeling is true.
Don’t you ever take the time, to stop and see,
That every time I look at you, I know we’re meant to be.

CHORUS #2
I just wish I wasn’t so scared, so that every time you look my way.
I could walk over to you, and tell you what I want to say.
“I just wish it could be this way, I want you to want me too,
My eyes sing what I can’t say, that I’m in love with you.”


I wish you would tell me what’s going through your head,
And speak those three words, that have gone so long unsaid.
Didn’t I ever tell you, that you have the key to my heart,
You can unlock my soul, and we’d never have to be apart.

CHORUS#3
I just wish I wasn’t so insecure, so that every time you look my way.
I could walk over to you, and tell you what I want to say.
“I just wish it could be this way, I want you to want me too,
Your every move, breath, and smile, makes me love you.”


I wish you would hold me tight, and always stay by my side.
Run your hands through my hair, and kiss me like the stars and moon collide.
Don’t you know you now hold my heart, and it’s a mystery,
You never knew it before, but now maybe you can see.

CHORUS #4
I just wish I wasn’t so unsure, so that every time you look my way.
I could walk over to you, and tell you what I want to say.
“I just wish it could be this way, I want you to want me too,
Just look into your heart, and tell me you love me like I love you.”


And in a perfect world, this is how my life would go,
But here I stand, words unsaid, and he may never know…
That I love him, this perfect stranger consuming my life,
Will I ever say what I feel, or will my story end in strife?
