Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wake up
I stretch out
I wonder what you’re doing right now
Yeah, I slept in my make-up again
Tell myself I must be crazy
Thinking ’bout him
I find myself something decent to wear
Take the towel out of my hair
About that time, you call me
And I’m reminded, without you

[Chorus]
I’d be a stranger in an all-night diner
Waiting for a love to find her
Lonely like a harbor light
That’s never seen a boat
Like a line in an old love letter
No one ever wrote

[Verse 2]
I go to work
Work all day
I’m a walking tape recorder
Of everything you say
Walk to the car, dig out my keys
Start thinking if you were with anyone but me

[Chorus]
I’m a stranger in an all-night diner
Waiting for a love to find her
Lonely like a harbor light
That’s never seen a boat
Like a line in an old love letter
No one ever wrote

[Bridge]
There you are
On the street
Just standing there, waiting on me
I show you my new shoes
You say you love them
And baby without you

[Chorus]
I’m a stranger in an all-night diner
Waiting for a love to find her
Lonely like a harbor light
That’s never seen a boat
Like a line in an old love letter
No one ever wrote

[Outro]
I wake up
I stretch out
I wonder what you’re doing right now
