[Verse 1] At first I hold my cards close I keep my words in my coat I look quiet from the outside But I’ve got storms in my throat Give me time and I loosen Little by little, I show What I like, what I’m thinking What I never said before I’m less shut, less locked away More hands out, more face to face I used to hide in my own space Now I step into the place [Pre-Chorus] Stay a minute Watch me open One small laugh Turns into motion Tell me your dream Tell me your job Tell me the weird little habit That you never thought of [Chorus] Once you know me, I open up Once you know me, I open up I’m less reversed, more out in the room (come closer) I want the truth, I want the real you Once you know me, I open up Once you know me, I open up Deep talks hit me right in the chest (too much? maybe) I send a meme and call it a test [Verse 2] I like the part where it gets honest Where the masks start slipping off You tell me how you got here I tell you what made me soft Your favorite songs, your strange new plans The fear you hide behind your grin I don’t need perfect answers I just like letting people in I’m goofy, yeah, I know it I crack jokes that land or die Funny or painfully cringe Either way, I still try [Pre-Chorus] Stay a minute Watch me glow up From quiet eyes To loud enough Tell me your hopes Tell me your past Tell me the thing that still keeps Running through your head fast [Chorus] Once you know me, I open up Once you know me, I open up I’m less reversed, more out in the room (come closer) I want the truth, I want the real you Once you know me, I open up Once you know me, I open up Deep talks hit me right in the chest (too much? maybe) I send a meme and call it a test [Bridge] I don’t bloom all at once I unfold in layers One honest night And I’m not so guarded If you want me, bring your questions Bring the parts you never named I’ll bring my weird little laughter And the heart that changed [Chorus] Once you know me, I open up Once you know me, I open up I’m less reversed, more out in the room (come closer) I want the truth, I want the real you Once you know me, I open up Once you know me, I open up Deep talks hit me right in the chest (too much? maybe) I send a meme and call it a test
