It's too cold in this downtown apartment
No furniture so we sit on the carpet
Heating's gone so we fill the bath with
Boiling water from the kettle
What a beautiful way to start this
I just met you today for the first time
All I know is your name and your birth sign
I've not got any curtains to draw
Only a mattress set on the floor
Won't you lay with me, darling, all night?
I've got a movie we can watch
And we'll eat popcorn from a coffee cup
Not the fanciest place
But it's home
Down in this downtown apartment
Is where two broken hearts went
To see what it feels like
To fall for a stranger
Caught in a landslide of something
Darling, now I'm asking one thing:
Is this what it feels like
To fall for a stranger?
I feel love in this north London flat
Only god knows where I found it at
Maybe fate pulled me into the pub
Just to meet someone who'll give me their love
I just liked how you kiss me like that
Never thought I'd be taking you home
I assumed I'd be sleeping alone
'pologies for the mess that I've made
I wasn't expecting you'd stay at my place
What a beautiful way to start this
I've got a t-shirt you can wear
Just a blanket that we both can share
Not the fanciest place
But it's home
Down in this downtown apartment
Is where two broken hearts went
To see what it feels like
To fall for a stranger
Caught in a landslide of something
Darling, now I'm asking one thing:
Is this what it feels like
To fall for a stranger?
I've been longing to see
What's meant for you and me
But all along I've been falling for a stranger
