The Quiet One

V6

[Intro] The porch light flickers, the front door shakes A paper crown hangs from the fire escape [Verse] You arrive with a pocket protector Pressed shirt, borrowed shoes At the house where the hallway trembles Under thunder painted blue They laugh when you clutch your soda They cheer when you miss the beat Then you set your glasses on the table And stamp both feet [Pre-Chorus] No more counting every angle No more waiting by the wall You loosen up your careful collar And answer when they call [Chorus] Come on in, let the whole room know The quiet one has stolen the show Raise that cup, let the old rules fall Tonight you’re the loudest one of all [Verse] You take the dare by the staircase Then another by the sink Every round turns your face brighter Every joke makes strangers grin The captain hands you his jacket The band gives up its song You climb onto the kitchen counter And somehow carry on [Pre-Chorus] Now the floorboards know your footsteps Now the windows rattle too All the people who ignored you Are making room for you [Chorus] Come on in, let the whole house know The quiet one has stolen the show Raise that cup, let the old rules fall Tonight you’re the loudest one of all Break through, break loose, tear open the night A nervous little spark turns bright Hands in the air, every voice enthralled You came as nobody—now they call [Bridge] The backyard gate swings open The pool throws back the moon You point toward the water Like a rocket leaving soon The crowd counts down together Your shirt lands by the chair You hit the deep end laughing And surface without a care [Breakdown] No plan! No script! No safe retreat! Bare feet! Cold water! Marching to the beat! [Chorus] Come on in, let the whole world know The quiet one has stolen the show Raise that cup, let the old rules fall Tonight you’re the brightest spark of all Break through, break loose, tear open the night A nervous little spark becomes a wildfire bright From the back-row seat to the center call You came as nobody—now you own it all [Final Chorus] Come on in, let the whole house roar You’re not the same as you were before Raise that cup, let the old rules fall The walls shake hard when they hear your call Break through, break loose, tear open the night The kid they overlooked is a tower of light From awkward hello to the legend they recall You came as nobody—now you own it all [Outro] Morning finds your shoes beside the pool Your borrowed jacket draped across a stool The party sleeps, but the story stands tall The quiet one became the star of it all
