I was a stranger you met at a random party last night
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And then I took flight
I was a stranger you met, do you remember me now?
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And that's how our song came about.
See me for who I am right now
The most beautiful nerd-could it be you somehow?
I want to see her eyes just one last time
Then I'll give my final verse and continue to climb
Maybe we'll meet again somewhere down the line
Maybe this time, I'll find peace and feel fine
Maybe I'll find hope in a steady role
Or just hit snooze again, coping with it all
One night, one glance, a moment so brief
We shared something real, or maybe just make-believe.
I was a stranger you met at a random party last night
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And then I took flight
I was a stranger you met, do you remember me now?
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And that's how our song came about.
We watched The OC, way out in OC
Thought we knew, but maybe got it wrong, see
You said I was meant for something great
Now I just struggle to articulate
Still, I smile thinking of you, of us
Wrote about you-every word was my fuss
These lines came straight from my heart
Do they touch you? Maybe it was worth it, in part.
One night, one glance, a moment so brief
We shared something real, or maybe just make-believe.
I was a stranger you met at a random party last night
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And then I took flight
I was a stranger you met, do you remember me now?
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And that's how our song came about.
Time slips away, but memories stay
I wonder if you feel the same today
Every song I wrote was for you, you know
Maybe one day, you'll let it show
In the silence, do you hear me sing?
Or am I just a distant, fading thing?
I was a stranger you met at a random party last night
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And then I took flight
I was a stranger you met, do you remember me now?
We had bad sex, but still, it was sex
And that's how our song came about.
So here we are, fading like the night
A stranger's face, now out of sight
Maybe it meant nothing, maybe it meant more
But our song's still playing, and I'm out the door.
