Lyrics
Where to begin?
Asking where to start or how to approach a situation.
When I first saw you I fell hard
Expressing intense attraction upon first seeing the person.
Like leaves in fall, graceful floating towards the ground
Comparing the fall of leaves to the experience of falling in love gracefully.
We became friends and it was harder every time
Building a friendship made it harder to hide feelings.
To keep pretending I don't stare when you pass by
Struggling to conceal the act of staring when the person passes by.
And I stay awake wishing to the mighty sky
Staying awake and wishing for reciprocation from the person.
That maybe one you are the one staring back
Hoping that the person might share similar feelings.
Cause maybe if you knew
Wondering about potential outcomes if the person knew true feelings.
How my heart race when I'm with you
Describing the physical response (heart racing) in the person's presence.
Or how a simple smile can get my mind running overnight
Explaining how small actions from the person impact deeply.
And I'm scared to say
Expressing fear of revealing emotions.
I'm so afraid to tell
Highlighting the deep-seated fear of confession.
But maybe if you knew
Imagining a different response if the person knew the feelings.
You'd take a second look
Suggesting a hope for reconsideration if aware of emotions.
The worst part of it all is I keep this false false hope
Expressing the burden of maintaining false hope despite the reality.
That in every word you say there's a hidden hint somewhere
Believing there might be hidden messages in the person's words.
Cause I know there's not and you've never seen
Acknowledging the lack of reciprocated feelings or understanding.
All the great thing you and I could ever be
Imagining the potential of a relationship that hasn’t been explored.
Cause maybe if you knew
Reflecting on potential outcomes if the person understood feelings.
How my heart race when I'm with you
Reiterating the physical response to being around the person.
Or how a simple smile can get my mind running overnight
Highlighting the impact of a simple action (smile) on thoughts and emotions.
And I'm scared to say
Reinforcing the fear of expressing feelings.
I'm so afraid to tell
Emphasizing the deep anxiety about confession.
But maybe if you knew
Repeating the hope for a different response if the person knew.
Cause maybe if you knew all the nights I dreamt of you
Describing the intensity of thoughts and dreams involving the person.
Or every tear I've cried wishing you were mine
Expressing emotional pain and longing for the person.
But I'm scared to say
Continuing to express fear of revealing emotions.
I'm so afraid to face that even if you knew
Acknowledging the likelihood of rejection despite disclosure.
You wouldn't take a second look
Anticipating that even if the person knew, they wouldn't reciprocate.
