The Dark Stranger's Heart 𓆩❤️‍🔥𓆪🖤

© Mary Solenne Studio. All lyrics and vocal performance reserved. 🚪🔥 A soulmate song for anyone who swore they'd never write one. About the exact moment you stop rolling your eyes at the cliché because somehow, ridiculously, it turned out to be true. Sultry, playful, dangerously sassy. Open the door, dare you. 𓆩❤️‍🔥𓆪🖤 [Verse 1] Everybody on here's got a soulmate Starcrossed, fated, "the universe wrote it," the whole thing I used to just roll my eyes at it Sure. Okay. Whatever you say "He's been watching her forever" Yeah, that's called a red flag where I'm from I wasn't looking for anybody to save me Didn't need a jawline and a five-year plan I had a whole list, mostly things not to fall for "Watches me from afar" was near the top, not gonna lie about that I told myself I knew better I told myself a lot of things, apparently But here's the thing I'm about to be just as ridiculous I'm about to write The exact same song Everybody's writing [Verse 2] So what kind of man gets a girl like me To actually shut the list down Not the guy with perfect timing Not the guy who's got a line ready for everything I wanted somebody a little broken, if I'm honest Somebody who'd argue with me and still not leave Somebody funny at exactly the wrong moment Somebody who could laugh at his own dumb self, mwa Don't need to be swept off my feet More like — tripped, caught me, laughed about it after Don't need the perfect fairytale finish Just somebody real enough to actually stick And okay, fine, I'll say it Maybe the watching-me-from-afar thing Isn't the red flag I thought it was Maybe that's just you Being patient, you clever thing While I figured myself back out [Bridge] You just kept showing up, like a swinging door Never announced, never asking to be let in Chipped away at walls I'd gotten real good at building Wore me down slow — and good, I let you maybe You made me laugh when I had no business laughing Cheered me up before I even knew I needed it Saw the parts of me I don't hand out easy Didn't ask me to explain — just leaned in and stayed Would you know me if I told you everything Would you see me past the mask I'm wearing I've been somewhere in between for so long Nobody's really looked — not the way you do, slow and sure Maybe you're just a hand behind the curtain too Making shapes on the wall so no one gets too close Maybe I am, hard to say from here But the shadows don't scare me once I know whose hand it is — and I want to know Somewhere in all that I started looking at you like a mirror Both of us hungry, both of us careful Both of us done pretending we don't want this So the door's open now Come on — let's see where this leads Neither one of us walking through alone Step for step, hand still in mine, and this smile isn't for show [Chorus] Hello, Mr. Been-Watching-From-Afar Guess the universe wrote this one after all (after all) Said I'd never be one of these songs — ha Well here I am, ridiculous, standing tall Open the door (open it up) Open the door (dare you) Careful now, careful now, careful what you start 'Cause once it's open, baby, I'm all in — heart and all Open the door Open the door Turns out I desired this And didn't even know it [Verse 3] You play it so cool, don't you Arms crossed, standing back, real casual Like you're not dying to know What it'd feel like walking through that door with me Ha — you can't figure me out And it is driving you a little insane, isn't it Good. Keep guessing I like you a little unraveled What's your pleasure, hm? Don't answer too fast, I want to watch you think about it You want this as bad as I do You're just too cool to say it first So go on — stay quiet Stand there looking unbothered I've got time And I've got a door with your name halfway carved into it already [Final Chorus] Hello, Mr. Been-Watching-From-Afar Guess the universe wrote this one after all (after all) Said I'd never be one of these songs — ha Well here I am, ridiculous, standing tall Open the door (open it up) Open the door (dare you) Careful now, careful now, careful what you start 'Cause once it's open, baby, I'm all in — heart and all Open the door Open the door Turns out I desired this And didn't even know it [Outro] So take my hand Stop standing there looking unbothered Whatever's past that door We're finding out together Open the door (Open it) Open the door (I'm already walking) © Mary Solenne Studio.
