[Verse 1, Soft-Restrained] Hey you, the boy with the worn-out shoes I think I like you… yeah, it’s true But every time I try, I second guess So I keep my distance, nothing less Watching how you move between the halls Memorizing patterns in it all If I get too close, I might confess— So I stay one step back, more or less [Pre-Chorus, Emotional] If I step too close, would you know it’s me? Or just a shadow in your memory? Every heartbeat louder than I planned I’m losing grip on what I understand I should walk away, let it be But curiosity won’t set me free If you turned around, I’d disappear… So I stay unseen, but I stay near [Chorus, Melodic] My sweet valentine, I’m tracking every sign Every step you take, I stay one step behind Hidden in plain sight, reading through the lines If you look my way… would you realize? Left a note in code, slipped into your day Every little clue leads you my way I should let it go, but I can’t deny I’m the shadow you’ve been passing by [Verse 2, Rythmic] Shhh… Behind the tree, holding my breath Counting every single step Dropped the note like classified Now I’m waiting for a sign Do you read between the lines? Do I live somewhere in your mind? Every move I memorize Just to see it in your eyes [Bridge,Vulnerable] [Music cuts back] I’ve been watching from the edges of your light Every move you make feels etched into my mind I tried to stay invisible, out of sight But you’ve been pulling me closer every night I don’t know if this is right or wrong to do All my secret plans were never meant for you If you read between the lines I left behind… You’d see I never meant to stay disguised So if you see me now… don’t look away I think I’d rather be caught than stay this way [Chorus, Emotional-release] My sweet valentine, I was never out of line I just couldn’t tell you what was on my mind No more hidden sight, no more secret signs If you look at me… I won’t deny I left every clue so you’d find your way Every coded word was me trying to say I should’ve let you see me from the start I wasn’t spying… I was too scared of my heart
