Cover art for Stranger lyrics by Secondhand Serenade

This song is about letting people in In this song there are two people who deeply care about each other. One won't let the other in to help them. Something bad has happened to them but they won't let the other help, like a stranger. The hurt person is afraid to let the other person in because they think it will make the other think of them diffrently once they truly know each other "You call me a stranger, you say I'm a danger" The other person won't give up and eventually they are let in (figurativly of course) "But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight" They are afraid at first when the start to learn about the person's past and how it affected them "I'm confident, But I can't pretend I wasn't terrified to meet you" The person now truely knows them they want to help them through the hard times "Take a look at me so you can see..." They want the person to see everyting they need to see in them. "I know that I can't make you stay But I would give my final breath To make you understand how beautiful you are" The person knows they might not allways be together so befroe they part ways they want to show how much they care and understand.
