[Verse]
Staring from across the smoky room
She’s a fire my courage a tomb
Words knot in my chest and hands flop dead
Fear buries me underneath the lead
[Verse 2]
Her eyes a burn that I can't escape
Heart pounding faster I can’t reshape
Steps feel like stones but she’s pulling me
Caught on the edge of this gravity
[Chorus]
Heart in my throat fists clenched too tight
Caught under the glow of her piercing light
Dreams of a smile whisper to my soul
Could I be brave? Could I take control?
[Verse 3]
The jukebox moans the crowd starts to fade
Her laughter cuts the quietest cascade
I’m weightless drowning I can’t decide
If I run or stand and fight my pride
[Bridge]
The night cracks open just like this haze
A little voice calls me out of the maze
Her glance shifts into me sharp like shards
My mind screams don’t fold don’t let down your guard
[Chorus]
Heart in my throat fists clenched too tight
Caught under the glow of her piercing light
Dreams of a smile whisper to my soul
Could I be brave? Could I take control?
