[Verse 1]
I was 16 with a rocket
And some sunshine in my pocket
It was how you used words I didn't know
And the way you said my name
And cut up peaches and them brown eyes
Little flame that we pretend doesn't glow

[Pre-Chorus]
You know space and time wouldn't let you be mine
What I've come to understand
Is entropy wouldn't leave you to me
I'm right back where I began

[Chorus]
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love

[Verse 2]
There were times I think about us
Overcome by the nostalgias
I am on call when you need me, let me know
But we're drifting in a strange way
I'm aware that it's a mistake if I love you
It's a mistake if I don't

[Pre-Chorus]
You know space and time wouldn't let you be mine
What I've come to understand
Is entropy wouldn't leave you to me
I'm right back where I began

[Chorus]
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love

[Bridge]
And she smelled like Michigan
And it felt like lust
And the nostalgia's killing me
And it's all because

[Chorus]
I'm in the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
In the arms of a stranger, stranger, stranger

I'm in the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Posner has never shied away from telling folks where he’s from. Growing up with childhood friend Big Sean, music quickly grabbed his attention. Garnering fame in August of 2010 with 31 Minutes to Take Off, he has quickly established himself as not only a singer of pop music but also a songwriter to big names.

He first gained attention in the music world after his dorm room written track that he wrote while attending Duke hit airways via YouTube. He quickly began releasing new material and his mixtapes held top spots on iTunes U charts for several weeks.

He has worked on two sophomore albums in Skyhigh and Pages that ended up being shelved, but he has in the meantime written for stars such as Labrinth, Justin Bieber, as well as Maroon 5, and Nick Jonas.
