Lyric

Gentle Shadow

Tera Kira

Still half-asleep and dreaming on the bus

Mist on the window hides the world from us

The scarf you gave me, wrapped around so tight

Feels like it’s part of me in the morning light

I’m not at a distance where I can call your name

But just one gesture makes nothing feel the same

A simple movement that you made yesterday

Colors my world in a beautiful way

A gentle shadow is falling on my chest

Making me walk in a way that feels the best

Switching the weight of a stranger’s heavy load

I’d be embarrassed if the reason ever showed

But I’m just remembering you

Passing through the gate and joining the crowd

Lost in a sea of people, talking out loud

Better than the phone inside my pocket’s reach

Is the sound of your laughter and the lessons it could teach

Back then, you blamed yourself for things you couldn't do

So for one extra station, I thought of you

And showed a little kindness to a face I didn't know

Just to let the feeling within me start to grow

A gentle shadow is staying in my mind

Smoothing the edges of the words I used to find

Waiting for the light, I’m no longer in a rush

Thinking of the heart within the morning hush

I’m just remembering you

I never made a promise to change who I was

I never really thought about a reason or a cause

But I noticed that the excuses I used to make

Are fading away for my own heart’s sake

I can't say clearly that I’m in love with you

The words feel too heavy for a feeling so new

But compared to the man that I used to be

I think I’m starting to like this version of me

A gentle shadow is falling on my chest

Warmer than yesterday, put to the test

When I see a silence, awkward and unsure

I want to protect it, keep it safe and pure

I’m just remembering you

On the bus window

Blurred lines of the town

The scarf you gave me

I’ll tie it once more so it won’t fall down
