Flower in the Shadow

Verse 1

I used to keep my distance, built a wall so high and wide

Hiding all the noisy, tangled thoughts I kept inside

Then you walked right into the middle of my quiet room

And turned the shadow on the wall into a flower in bloom

Pre-Chorus

I thought the world was something I should keep away from me

Until you looked my way and saw what no one else could see

Chorus

Now every little moment feels like standard-issue gold

A silent type of magic that I never could hold

My heart is beating faster, but I'm learning not to run

Because the danger in my head was just the rising sun

Verse 2

You laugh at simple foolish things and offer half your snack

I pretend to look away, but there is no turning back

The distance that I wanted feels so lonely and so cold

I just want to be the story that your quiet eyes have told

Outro

No more hidden places, no more pulling back my hand

You reached across the shadow, and you helped me understand

(Piano slowly fades out)
