The hallway clock ticks slow, a minute feels like years I watch you joke with friends, and silence hides my tears You talk about your day, you never see my gaze It’s like I'm made of glass, lost in a simple haze. Fifteen summers old, a secret I can’t tell, You walk right past my locker, and I fall under your spell.
Oh, my love is a quiet observer, a shadow in the room A melody I whisper when I’m safe inside my gloom. It’s a peaceful, steady beating, a rhythm in my chest But you don't hear the music, you just put me to the test. You’re the sun, and I’m the moonlight, waiting for the night A beautiful, sad secret, hidden from your sight.
I trace your name in notebooks, under faded, borrowed light I know your favorite coffee, the sweater that you wear just right. I memorize the moments, the way you tilt your head and smile, These stolen little pictures make the waiting all worthwhile. I practice what to tell you, a hundred different lines, But when our eyes connect, the bravery declines.
Oh, my love is a quiet observer, a shadow in the room A melody I whisper when I’m safe inside my gloom. It’s a peaceful, steady beating, a rhythm in my chest But you don't hear the music, you just put me to the test. You’re the sun, and I’m the moonlight, waiting for the night A beautiful, sad secret, hidden from your sight.
I wish the air could vibrate, with the feelings in my soul I wish my whispered dreaming, could somehow take control. But maybe this is safer, this fragile, hidden space, Because a silent crush can never fall from grace. And so I'll keep the distance, and cherish what I see, A perfect, peaceful feeling, just for little me.
Oh, my love is a quiet observer, a shadow in the room A melody I whisper when I’m safe inside my gloom. It’s a peaceful, steady beating, a rhythm in my chest But you don't hear the music, you just put me to the test. You’re the sun, and I’m the moonlight, waiting for the night A beautiful, sad secret, hidden from your sight.
(Acoustic Guitar/Piano fades slowly...) No, you don't know my name... not the way I know yours. Just a quiet observer... forever more. (Single, soft piano key fades out).
