about

Meeting someone new can evoke a range of emotions, from excitement and anticipation to anxiety and insecurity. While the experience is unique and thrilling, it can also be nerve-wracking, especially for those who have endured heartbreak.

“Hey, Stranger” explores the complex feelings and vulnerability that come with opening oneself up to the possibility of love. It encourages listeners to have faith and take chances, reminding them that each human interaction holds infinite potential. Ultimately, it’s a reminder that you never know until you try. And I cannot wait for you to listen <3

With Love,

Val Merza

lyrics

What's your name
What's your sign
Do you think that maybe you could spend the night
(Spend the night)
What's your favorite word
Do you think that maybe I could be your girl
I know that it haunts you to give your heart away
But trust me when I tell you it's a chance we gotta take

Hey stranger, I know that we just met
But I don't want to have any more regrets
And I don't think I can take one more goodbye
Hey stranger, you've got a pretty smile
Maybe one day you can stay a while
But how would we know if we never even try

Do you know what we could be
We could be everything, oh I wish you would see
(You would see)
Do you know how beautiful you are
You're every song I sing on my guitar
I know that you're hurting but so am I
And I'm not about to make that mistake a second time

Hey stranger, I know that we just met
But I don't want to have any more regrets
And I don't think I can take one more goodbye
Hey stranger, you've got a pretty smile
Maybe one day you can stay a while
But how would we know if we never even try

I can only ask you not to let this go
'Cause the best things are out of our control
All I can do is hope my broken heart
Won't end this before it starts
And that night I cried on the floor
And I, I told you about my father
You kept me safe, kept me warm
Now just hold me for a little longer
Hey stranger, I know that we just met
And I don't even know your favorite color yet
But that's okay, we'll learn these things in time

Hey stranger, I know that we just met
But I don't want to have any more regrets
And I don't think I can take one more goodbye
Hey stranger, you've got a pretty smile
Maybe one day you can stay a while
Hey stranger, hey stranger, hey stranger
We'll never know if we never try
We'll never know if we never try
Hey stranger, hey stranger, hey stranger
We'll never know if we never
