[Verse 1]
I see her in the hallway, heart in my throat
I wonder if she notices me at all
Am I just a shadow up against the wall?
I imagine talking, but I do nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
The fear keeps me frozen, frozen and afraid
I long for courage, but I’m too afraid
I think my voice will betray
Betray me anyway
[Chorus]
What if I reach for her hand, and she just pulls away?
What if I stay silent and lose another day?
But what if she’s waiting, hoping I’ll try?
What if this moment is ours, if I just say hi?
If I just say hi… (say hi)
If I just say hi
[Verse 2]
I watch her from the corner, thoughts like storms inside
Maybe love begins with trembling, maybe I’m the one she’s hoping for
But the fear keeps me frozen, frozen and afraid
I long for courage, but I’m too afraid
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What if I’m too small, too broken to be seen?
What if my words just stumble, like a clumsy routine?
I count every second, trapped in hesitation
Afraid of revealing the weight of my fixation
[Chorus]
What if I reach for her hand, and she just pulls away?
What if I stay silent and lose another day?
But what if she’s waiting, hoping I’ll try?
What if this moment is ours, if I just say hi?
If I just say hi… (say hi)
If I just say hi
[Bridge]
What if my silence hides the truth too long?
What if the moment slips while I wait too strong?
But maybe she’s waiting, heart open wide
And maybe courage lives on the other side
[Chorus]
What if I reach for her hand, and she just pulls away?
What if I stay silent and lose today?
But what if she’s waiting, hoping I’ll try?
What if this moment is ours, if I just say hi?
If I just say hi… (say hi)
If I just say hi
[Outro – Soft, Hopeful]
I’ll step closer tomorrow, even if I fall
What if she’s been waiting through it all?
I fear rejection, it haunts me at night
But her laugh, her eyes, her smile
Pull me closer
Maybe courage lives inside
What if this moment could change everything, if I just say something?
Maybe i'll just say hi… (say hi)
Maybe i'll just say hi
