Shadow Cadence (Remastered)

(Verse 1)I used to memorize your shadow from afarA quiet spectator behind a crowded barI learned the cadence of your laugh, the way you moveMapping out a ghost I never thought I’d proveBut now the distance we kept has completely dissolvedAnd every safe defense I built has just evolved(Chorus)Because you’re standing right here in the lightAnd my steady hands are shaking tonightI’ve practiced every word but they all disappearWhat do I do now that you’re finally here?My heart is beating too loud in my chestI spent so long watching, I forgot the rest(Verse 2)The smoke has cleared out and the music turned lowYou stepped across the room, nowhere left to goI always knew your face, but never this closeIt’s the beautiful things that terrify us mostYou’re looking straight at me, waiting for a soundWhile my heavy feet feel frozen to the ground(Chorus)Because you’re standing right here in the lightAnd my steady hands are shaking tonightI’ve practiced every word but they all disappearWhat do I do now that you’re finally here?My heart is beating too loud in my chestI spent so long watching, I forgot the rest(Bridge)Should I confess the hours I threw away?Dreaming of the things that I would never say?Or do I play it cool, pretend it’s all a game?While the echo in my head is screaming out your nameOh, it’s a cruel kind of magic to get what you wantWhen the ghost of your absence is still here to haunt(Guitar/Piano Solo - Dramatic and swelling)(Chorus)Now you’re standing right here in the lightAnd my steady hands are shaking tonightEvery single script I wrote has started to fadeLook at the beautiful mess that we’ve madeMy heart is beating too loud in my chestI spent so long watching, I forgot the rest(Outro)So what do I do?The waiting is done.I’m looking at you.And you were the one.Don’t walk away.Tell me what to do.
