Come Out of the Shade
Embracing Love's Uncertainty
Lyrics
Was it love or just something that reminded me of
Reflection on whether it was love or a similar feeling.
Something that felt a lot like, but wasn't love?
Questioning if it was a love-like experience but not actual love.
Just friends, friends then until the end
Describing a relationship as just friends, lasting until the end.
You know I still pretend, just friends
Admitting to pretending that the relationship is only friendship.
Take a step and come out of the shade
Encouragement to step out of the shadows or uncertainty.
I can tell you're no longer afraid
Observation that the person seems less afraid now.
I'm helpless without your warming smile
Expressing vulnerability without the warmth of the person's smile.
Take a step and come out in the sun
Encouragement to come into the open and embrace life.
I can tell it's already begun
Noticing a positive change already happening in the person.
I'm helpless without your warming smile
Expressing vulnerability without the person's warming smile.
Was it love? I think it was but I'm far from sure
Uncertain if it was love, reflecting on the feeling.
I'd never felt that way before, was it love?
Acknowledging a unique and unfamiliar emotional experience.
Just friends, am I a fool to be asking for
Questioning the status of the relationship, still desiring more.
A fool to wish that we could be more than friends?
Wondering if it's foolish to wish for a deeper connection.
Take a step and come out of the shade
Encouraging the person to step out of the shadows.
I can tell you're no longer afraid
Noticing a decrease in fear, suggesting positive change.
I'm helpless without your warming smile
Expressing vulnerability without the person's warming smile.
Take a step and come out here in the sun
Encouraging the person to step into the sunlight.
I can tell it's already begun
Observing that positive change is already underway.
I'm helpless without you, helpless without you
Emphasizing helplessness without the person.
Helpless without your warming smile
Reiterating dependence on the person's warming smile.
Your warming smile
Specifically mentioning the importance of the person's smile.
