Noella Denise

Verse 1

Noella walks the far hall slow

Her eyes keep drifting to row three

She counts the tilts of someone's head

And hides her blush behind her sleeve

She says it's just a study friend

But every name she writes is hers

Noella folds a paper note

And lets the hours slip and blur

Pre-Chorus

Oh she watches and she waits

Oh the quiet shakes her frame

Oh she wants to say her name

Chorus

Noella Noella

Your secret isn't heavy

It's a garden you can grow

Noella Noella

The girl you want is waiting

Tell her all the things you know

Verse 2

Senior year the evenings stretch

Her locker's full of borrowed sweaters

She hums a tune the girl once sang

And swears that she don't feel much better

She paints a tiny heart in class

Then scratches it away again

Her notebook's full of half-started lines

She wants to start but never when

Pre-Chorus

Oh she waits another day

Oh the hallway fades to gray

Oh she wishes she could stay

Chorus

Noella Noella

Your secret isn't heavy

It's a garden you can grow

Noella Noella

The girl you want is waiting

Tell her all the things you know

Bridge

Some love grows loud and some love hides

But both of them are real

You don't need a louder voice

Just a heart that's brave to feel

Chorus

Noella Noella

Your secret isn't heavy

It's a garden you can grow

Noella Noella

The girl you want is waiting

Tell her all the things you know
