a stranger is a dangerous thing to love

Copyright © 2010 Casey Harmon

i had a party last week
you weren't invited
only cause i hadn't met you yet
i'm glad you ended up in my room
you took your coat off
you were kinda cute
and i liked the glasses on your face

and we danced in front of my Christmas tree
you were awesome at bein' awkward with me
i nearly lost all of my sanity

and i forgot that a stranger is
a dangerous thing to love
oh i know i don't yet
but i think that i might love you soon

the party died down
people left. but you stayed
and you played me a song that
you wrote about the holiday
we celebrated with hot cocoa and sweaters
what could be better than that?

and your hot voice melted me
i turned away hoping that you couldn't see
that i was blushing
and i felt so silly

and i forgot that a stranger is
a dangerous thing to love
oh i know i don't yet
but i think that i might love you soon

at the coffee shop
you played and you knew my name
you said, "hey, how ya doin today?"
and i smiled a little too big
and i feel a little stupid
at how little it takes
for you to do this me
i'll try a little harder
to be a little smarter
than the little girl in me

who forgot that
a stranger is a dangerous
place to leave your faith
i'm afraid these feelings are in vain
so i'll leave em in the song
and hope that they'll be gone
from my mind so i can sleep tonight
and forget the stranger

now that i've said way too much in my head
i bet i'll send ya runnin away
as i wave to the stranger
who's a dangerous thing to love
oh i know i don't yet
but i think that i might love you soon
