​[Intro] [Soft acoustic guitar melody, warm and melancholic] [Male 1: "Yeah... it's hard, you know?"] [Male 2: "Just watching from the sidelines..."] [Group: "Ooh, ooh-ooh..."] ​[Verse 1: Male 1 - Soulful Tenor Solo] I see you laughing with your friends across the hall I’m leaning back against the cold brick wall I rehearse the words I really wanna say But every time you look at me, they fade away [Male 2 (Ad-lib): "They just disappear..."] I’m a ghost in the room while you’re the morning sun Counting all the reasons why you’re the only one. ​[Pre-Chorus: Male 3 - Soft Falsetto] Every "hello" feels like a mountain to climb I’m just a second hand, lost in your time [Group: "So close, yet so far..."] Wondering if you ever wonder who I am? [Male 1: "Do you even know my name?"] ​[Chorus: Full Group Harmony - Lush and Sweet] I’m living in the shadow of your smile tonight Praying for a chance to make you mine, it’s right But I keep my secret locked deep inside my heart Falling for you, girl, is the hardest part [Call & Response: "Hardest part, so hard"] Yeah, I’m loving you from a distance, baby... [Group: "Always in the shadow of your smile."] ​[Verse 2: Male 2 - Husky Melodic Vocals] I saw him buy you flowers, saw you blush so red I wish it was my name instead of his you said [Male 3 (Ad-lib): "Should’ve been me..."] I’m the shoulder that you cry on when things go wrong But I’m tired of being just a verse in your song [Group: "I wanna be the melody, baby..."] Yeah, I’m hiding the pain behind this crooked grin. ​[Bridge: Emotional Breakdown - Acoustic Guitar Solo] [Music: Only guitar and soft snaps] [Male 1: "If I told you today..."] [Male 2: "Would you walk away?"] [Male 3: "Or would you stay?"] [Group: "I'm terrified of what the truth might bring!"] [Solo: High note belting ad-lib] "I'M DYING INSIDE! YEAH!" ​[Final Chorus: Full Group Harmony - Explosive Emotion] I’m living in the shadow of your smile tonight (Shadow of your smile!) Praying for a chance to make you mine, it’s right (Make you mine!) But I keep my secret locked deep inside my heart Falling for you, girl, is the hardest part [Call & Response: "Hardest part, so hard"] Yeah, I’m loving you from a distance, baby... [Group: "Always in the shadow of your smile."] ​[Outro: Airy Vocal Runs & Fading Guitar] [Male 1: "Just a shadow..."] [Male 2: "In the back of your mind..."] [Male 3: "Maybe one day..."] [Group: "Ooh, ooh... only you..."] [Final guitar pluck] [End]
