[Verse 1]
You were standing by the counter
Paper cup in your hand
I never asked your name, but
I knew I'd lose my plan
Your laugh hit me sideways
Like a car through rain
I looked away too fast, yeah
Then looked back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my heart's doing circles
Right there in my chest
One second you're a stranger
Next second you're the best
[Chorus]
Stranger, stay a minute
Stay a minute, stay
Stranger, I felt it hit me
When you said my name
Stranger, don't you vanish
Don't you fade away
I was fine till I found you
Now I'm not the same
[Verse 2]
You asked me for the blue pen
Then you kept it close
I said, "Take it, I don't mind"
But I cared the most
You had that kind of calm look
Like you knew this song
I was trying to play it cool
But my hands were wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my heart's doing circles
Right there in my chest
One second you're a stranger
Next second you're the best
[Chorus]
Stranger, stay a minute
Stay a minute, stay
Stranger, I felt it hit me
When you said my name
Stranger, don't you vanish
Don't you fade away
I was fine till I found you
Now I'm not the same
[Bridge]
Maybe this is crazy
Maybe it's too fast
But I can still feel that moment
When the whole room cracked
You smiled like a secret
I leaned in like a fool
Now every road I used to know
Just leads me back to you
[Chorus]
Stranger, stay a minute
Stay a minute, stay
Stranger, I felt it hit me
When you said my name
Stranger, don't you vanish
Don't you fade away
I was fine till I found you
Now I'm not the same
[Outro]
Stay a minute, stay
Stranger, don't you fade away
Stay a minute, stay
I was fine till I found you
