[Verse 1] Between pink walls, I was learning how to speak, Trying not to show the places Where the brave in me was weak. You were looking at the water, I was looking at your face, Then you caught me for a second— And we both looked away. [Pre-Chorus] There was fear inside the wonder, There was wonder in the fear, Every time our eyes would find us, Something pulled, then disappeared. [Chorus] Between pink walls, I kept wondering who you were, How your eyes could make me certain, Then make everything unsure. Between pink walls, There were things we couldn’t say, So we hid them in the silence… And kept looking away. [Verse 2] I remember how your face changed When you tried to hide a smile, How I suddenly found my own hands Strange and awkward for a while. You would ask me something simple, I would lose the words halfway, Not because I had no answer— I just liked the way you waited. [Pre-Chorus] There was longing in the distance, There was caution drawing near, Every answer made me curious, Every mystery kept me here. [Chorus] Between pink walls, I kept studying your face, Every almost-smile a question, Every glance a hidden place. Between pink walls, I was somewhere I’d never been, Trying to discover who you were… Wondering if you’d let me in. [Verse 3] You told me half a story, Then you left the ending bare, I could feel the missing pieces Like a question in the air. I was curious about your laughter, About the sadness underneath, About the life behind your eyes You hadn’t trusted me to see. [Pre-Chorus] There was mystery in knowing, There was knowing still to do, Every little thing I learned Made me want to learn more of you. [Chorus] Between pink walls, I kept wondering what was true, What belonged to who you had been, What was only becoming you. Between pink walls, Every silence opened doors, The more I learned about you… The more I wanted to know more. [Bridge — intimate, sparse] I noticed your eyes first. Then the shape of your face around them. The way you looked down when I looked too long. The way I looked away when you looked back. [Pause] Then both of us pretending… nothing happened. [Long pause] There were other thoughts. Of course there were. [Pause] But your eyes… kept interrupting them. [Instrumental rise] And somewhere between wanting to know you… and wanting you… I started wondering who I was becoming in front of you. [Final Chorus] Between pink walls, There was fear and there was light, Two shy strangers getting closer Without moving much that night. Between pink walls, Every silence held a clue, I thought I came to discover you… But I was meeting someone new. [Music softens] Not another stranger. Not someone across the room. [Pause] Me… The person I became when I was sitting there with you. [Outro] Between pink walls, I was learning how to speak, Trying not to show the places Where the brave in me was weak. You looked at me. I looked away. [Pause] Then looked again. And this time… So did you.
