[Verse 1] You lean against these tired bricks Like the whole block signed your name Scuffed boots Cracked steps Chip-shop smoke You’re the calm in all this gray Dark lenses on a cloudy day Collar up You never rush Kids on bikes all circle wide Like you’re made of sparks and hush [Chorus] What’s behind those dark glasses? Do you ever blink too long? Do you laugh at stupid movies Or forget the words to songs? Can you lose your place mid-sentence? Trip on every second stair? Are you hiding all your blushes Under that practiced Perfect stare? [Verse 2] Leather creaks when you shift weight Old phone lights your jaw in blue Tattoo peeking from your sleeve Like a secret slipping through You nod once at the stray cat Like you’ve both seen better days But your fingers tap the railing Like you’re humming fear away [Chorus] What’s behind those dark glasses? Do you ever talk too fast? Do you panic when it’s quiet ‘Cause the quiet never lasts? Can you miss your train on purpose Just to sit and watch the sky? Do you ever hide your shaking By pretending you’re too dry to cry? [Bridge] Maybe you still get tongue-tied Ordering your morning drink (hey) Maybe you overthink Every word you never say Maybe you tell bad jokes Till somebody finally stays [Chorus] What’s behind those dark glasses? I don’t want the polished pose I just want the crooked stories Every scar that never shows Can you smile and then look downwards? Look away Then meet my eyes? Let that cool façade fall open Just enough to let you get shy
