Midnight Echoes

Lyrics

[Verse] You caught the light the second that I walked in, A room full of noise, but you still made time stand thin, I had a hundred lines, but they all died on my tongue, 'Cause you look like a dream I’d lose before I’ve begun. [Bridge] I’m playing it cool, but my heart’s got no disguise, Every word I could say just disappears in your eyes. [Chorus] I wish I had the nerve to say your name, To step through the fear and maybe stake my claim, But you’re way out of my league, and I know it’s plain, Still I can’t stop wishing I could try anyway. [Verse] You’re laughing with the world like it’s all yours to keep, And I’m stuck at the edge of the hope I don’t dare speak, Too many doubts in my chest, too little courage tonight, Like I’m standing in the shadow of your beautiful light. [Bridge] If I could cross that distance, I’d say what’s true, That every room feels smaller when I’m looking at you. [Chorus] I wish I had the nerve to say your name, To step through the fear and maybe stake my claim, But you’re way out of my league, and I know it’s plain, Still I can’t stop wishing I could try anyway.So I’ll keep this secret where the quiet hearts stay, A beautiful girl I never got the chance to say.
