[Intro: Gentle acoustic guitar, soft piano, intimate vocals.] [Verse 1] I used to see you across the room Never knew what I'd say to you I'd catch your smile, then look away A thousand words I was too scared to say I'd watch you laugh, I'd watch you shine Wondering if you'd ever notice mine You were a dream I kept to myself A beautiful story sitting on a shelf [Pre-Chorus] And every time you walked on by I'd tell myself, just give it time But life won't wait for a heart that's scared And I couldn't keep pretending I didn't care [Chorus: Warm drums, bass, layered harmonies, bigger vocals.] I've been falling for you from a distance Loving you quietly, hoping you'd listen I never thought I'd find the words to say That you've been on my mind every day But tonight I put my fears aside Took a breath and swallowed my pride And when I asked if you'd go out with me You became the sweetest possibility I spent so long dreaming of you Now I get the chance to see it through [Verse 2] I rehearsed those words a thousand times Played out every ending in my mind Would you smile, would you say no? Would you ever want to let me get close? But something in your eyes gave me a sign That maybe this could be our time And all those feelings I kept inside Finally found the courage to step outside [Pre-Chorus] I don't know where this road will go But there's one thing I want you to know I wasn't looking for a perfect view I just couldn't stop looking at you [Chorus: Warm drums, bass, layered harmonies, bigger vocals.] I've been falling for you from a distance Loving you quietly, hoping you'd listen I never thought I'd find the words to say That you've been on my mind every day But tonight I put my fears aside Took a breath and swallowed my pride And when I asked if you'd go out with me You became the sweetest possibility I spent so long dreaming of you Now I get the chance to see it through [Bridge – Emotional Build] Maybe someday we'll look back and smile At how I watched you for such a long while How a simple hello changed everything How one little question made my heart sing I don't need to know what tomorrow brings Or promise you the moon or diamond rings I just want the chance to make you see What you've slowly come to mean to me [Final Chorus – Big, Emotional] I was falling for you from a distance Now I'm standing here with no resistance No more wondering what could be No more hiding what you mean to me I found the courage, I took that chance Now maybe we can have our first dance And if you let me walk beside you I'll spend my days reminding you That long before you ever knew My heart had already chosen you [Outro – Soft and Intimate Strip everything back to piano and voice.] I used to admire you from across the room Now I'm hoping I can be the reason you smile too Funny how a little courage can make dreams come true... I was falling for you.
