[Intro] [Soft atmospheric synth pad] [Acoustic guitar plucking, close and raw] [Verse 1] Midnight is glowing and the room is still I feel your phantom steps on my window sill I know you’re the greatest love, it’s true But my armor’s cutting right, dictating what I do Yeah, my pride is governing my every single stride I can’t move forward, so I run and hide Frozen on the starting line, locked inside my head Living with the heavy words that we left unsaid [Pre-Chorus] [Electronic bass enters, measured and steady] [Electric synth guitar swell] I hear your silent plea, I see your own disguise But look at what I build under winter skies My truest wish, my deepest spark in the dark Is just to be held safely right against your heart [Chorus] [Driving progressive electropop beat drops, roomy vocal sound] [Stereo-doubled electric guitars blend with synths] But I know you reflect my deepest wound We’re just dancing in the shadows to a silent tune I’ve got the exact same fear keeping me from you Afraid to take the first step, afraid to see it through We’re staring at the mirror but we turn away Trapped inside the spaces of the games we play [Verse 2] [Beat goes half-time, conversational delivery] [Acoustic guitar accents] My songs describe it all, love with a capital A This rhythm’s shouting what our lips can’t say But you’re running from the echo of the lines I write While I'm fighting the hurricane alone tonight [Pre-Chorus] [Electronic bass builds up] [Subtle electric violin line weaves in background] I hear your silent plea, I see your own disguise But look at what I build under winter skies My truest wish, my deepest spark in the dark Is just to be held safely right against your heart [Chorus] [Full progressive electropop rhythm, driving pace] [Stereo-doubled electric guitars] And you are the reflection of my deepest wound We’re just dancing in the shadows to a silent tune I’ve got the exact same fear keeping me from you Afraid to take the first step, afraid to see it through We’re staring at the mirror but we turn away Trapped inside the spaces of the games we play [Bridge] [Beat drops out, leaving heavy pulsing synth bass and electric violin] [Hushed, close-mic vocal with a slight rasp] I want to run but my feet are glued to the floor I build a palace out of chords, but you lock the door I swear I know who you are when the lights go down Then why are we still strangers in this lonely town? My wound is loud, my heart is proud But this electric silence is tearing us apart right now [Chorus] [Maximum energy explosion, rhythmic dance takeoff] [Full arrangement with synth guitar and driving synths] 'Cause you are the reflection of my deepest wound We’re just dancing in the shadows to a silent tune I’ve got the exact same fear keeping me from you Afraid to take the first step, afraid to see it through We’re staring at the mirror but we turn away Trapped inside the spaces of the games we play [Outro] [Beat slows down, synth pads trail off] My songs describe it all... love with a capital A But I'm still frozen, waiting in your shadow Hoping you'll take the first step today Just take the first step... [Fade out on a single, gentle acoustic guitar strum]
