Silhouette

Intro

Hallway bulb behind me, so

All you see is what I show.

Verse

The streetlamp lays me on the wall,

A taller me who cannot fall.

They study every curve and line,

And swear they know this shape of mine.

An outline keeps the inside dark,

Like closing hours in a park.

So read the shape and draw the face,

You'll paint a stranger in my place.

Pre-Chorus

Turn the light and watch me grow,

Longer as the lamp hangs low.

Chorus

Silhouette, silhouette,

(silhouette)

All the parts you haven't met yet.

Black on grey, I hold my form,

No one sees that I am warm.

Step into the light with me,

That's the only way to see.

Verse

At dawn I'm thin, at noon I'm small,

By dusk I stretch across the hall.

I'm never still, I'm never one,

I'm drawn by every passing sun.

And when the evening shuts the blind,

I fold into the room behind.

Don't mourn the shape when it is gone,

I'm still here when the lamp is on.

Pre-Chorus

Turn the light and watch me grow,

Longer as the lamp hangs low.

Chorus

Silhouette, silhouette,

(silhouette)

All the parts you haven't met yet.

Black on grey, I hold my form,

No one sees that I am warm.

Step into the light with me,

That's the only way to see.

Build

Closer, closer, through the haze,

Leave the outline, meet my gaze.

Drop

Bridge

I'm more than edges on a screen,

More than the space where light has been.

There's warmth in here I've never shown,

A tiny summer of my own.

Final Chorus

Now the lamp turns to my face,

(to my face)

Every edge gives up its place.

Eyes and lips and all I hide

Open like a door swung wide.

Not a shape and not a guess,

Just a girl in a black dress.

Outro

Dim the lamp and let me go,

Back to what you think you know.
