Mm, mm oh
I don't understand
You look just like the man
In the picture by our bed
The suspense is pounding and clouding up my head
I'm checking your clothes
And you wear the same size shoe
You sleep in his spot and you're driving his car
But I don't know just who you are
There's a stranger in my house
It took a while to figure out
There's no way you could be who you say you are
You got to be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do (you do)
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house
Not sure who you are
Don't see your shadow around when you walk
You're leaving no kisses
Goodbye with no words
If these walls could talk
They would have nothing to tell
So what could it be
Is there someone imitating me
Could she be taking my place
Look me in the face
And tell me that I'm wrong when I say
There's a stranger in my house
It took a while to figure out
There's no way you could be who you say you are
You got to be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do (you do)
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced there's a
Stranger in my house
Pop quiz
Tell me where we first kissed
Tell me where my spot is
Tell me if I like it, love it
Or could it be
That the stranger is me
Have I changed so drastically
Is it I want more for me
And you remain the same
There's a stranger in my house
It took a while to figure out
(It took a while to figure out)
You can't be who you say you are
You gotta be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me
So I am convinced there's a stranger in my house
There's a stranger in my house (woo)
It took a while to figure out
(It took a while to figure out)
You can't be who you say you are
You gotta be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me
I am convinced there's a stranger in my house
Oh, oh
Oh yeah
I don't understand
You look just like the man
In the picture by our bed
The suspense is pounding and clouding up my head
I'm checking your clothes
And you wear the same size shoe
You sleep in his spot and you're driving his car
But I don't know just who you are
There's a stranger in my house
It took a while to figure out
There's no way you could be who you say you are
You got to be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do (you do)
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house
Not sure who you are
Don't see your shadow around when you walk
You're leaving no kisses
Goodbye with no words
If these walls could talk
They would have nothing to tell
So what could it be
Is there someone imitating me

And tell me that I'm wrong when I say
There's a stranger in my house

There's no way you could be who you say you are
You got to be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do (you do)
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
