Paige In The Margins

[Verse 1]
You’re hiding in the corner of the room
Head down in your sketchbook
Lost in blue
Loose hair
Loose lines
That little half-smile
I’m learning every shade of you
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re just “doodling” again
But I see worlds in every pen
[Chorus]
Paige
I love you in the margins
Where you think nobody sees
All your quiet constellations
Spilling soft across the sheets
You’re the drawing that keeps changing
But the heart stays just the same
Paige
I love you in the margins
I keep writing out your name
[Verse 2]
You blush when I lean over just to look
Turn the page
Like you’re closing up a book
But I catch little gardens
Tiny skies
All the words you’re too shy to write
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“It’s nothing
It’s not good”
But I get you more than you think I could
[Chorus]
Paige
I love you in the margins
Where you think nobody sees
All your quiet constellations
Spilling soft across the sheets
You’re the drawing that keeps changing
But the heart stays just the same
Paige
I love you in the margins
I keep writing out your name
[Bridge]
If you ever feel too small
Too faint
I’ll color in your trembling hands
Every soft line
Every stray paint stain
Is the map that brings me back again (oh)
[Chorus]
Paige
I love you in the margins
Where you think nobody sees
All your quiet constellations
Spilling soft across the sheets
You’re the drawing that keeps changing
But the heart stays just the same
Paige
I love you in the margins
And I love you when you’re brave
Yeah
I love you in the margins
Every line you’ve ever made

Warm indie-pop ballad with male vocals; gentle picked acoustic guitar and soft piano, light brushy drums entering on the first chorus. Intimate, close-mic vocal in the verses, chorus opens with airy harmonies and subtle synth pad. Bridge strips to just guitar and voice, then final chorus blooms with stacked vocals and a simple glockenspiel line for sparkle., romantic
