[Verse 1]
I walk in like a joke on legs
Got a line for the room, got a grin that spreads
I can chat up a cashier, crack up the crowd
Make a whole table laugh too loud
I know the names, I know the tea
I make it look easy, like it's all on me
But when the door clicks shut at night
I fade like a page turned out of sight
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I kick off the shoes
Pull the world from my hair
I don't need a spotlight
I need quiet in here
[Chorus]
Public me, private me
I can talk, then disappear
Public me, private me
I'm the loud one out here
Private me, private me
Books piled high in my room
Public me, private me
That's the shape I bloom
[Verse 2]
At home it's socks on the radiator
Blanket fort kingdom, closed-door creator
Head in a show, head in a plot
I like my own company a lot
I read the same page twice sometimes
Let the night slow down, let it match my mind
If you call my name, I might stay low
Let the silence fill the corners slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I kick off the shoes
Pull the world from my hair
I don't need a crowd now
I just need air
[Chorus]
Public me, private me
I can talk, then disappear
Public me, private me
I'm the loud one out here
Private me, private me
Books piled high in my room
Public me, private me
That's the shape I bloom
[Bridge]
Don't make me choose one side
I hold both in one small life
Big laugh in the daylight
Soft heart when the blinds are closed
[Chorus]
Public me, private me
I can talk, then disappear
Public me, private me
I'm the loud one out here
Private me, private me
Books piled high in my room
Public me, private me
That's the shape I bloom
[Outro]
Public me
Private me
Same girl, different room
Public me
Private me
That's the shape I bloom
