Lyric

Every time the city lights begin to sway

I find myself thinking of you in a certain way

Through the curve of a glass, the world starts to blur

And the pain in my chest begins to stir

A quiet ache that I can’t quite name

If I put it into words, it might just disappear

So I hold these feelings close, keeping them near

That effortless smile you always wear

It’s locked in my mind, and I’m already there

Softly, softly, these feelings start to grow

With a nameless rhythm that only we could know

Swaying in the night wind, drifting through the air

I’m unraveling my heart to find you there

Surely, surely, you’ve noticed it too

We’re looking at the same stars, me and you

Like a distant light flickering in the blue

Our love begins... quietly

Outside the window, the neon starts to flow

Reflecting the days that we used to know

I’ve taken the long way, I’ve wandered around

But it’s here in this moment that I finally found

That when I hear your voice, the clock starts to turn

The frozen time begins to burn

If I just had an ounce of courage tonight

Maybe everything would change under the light

Something’s shifting, and it feels so right

Gently, gently, our fingertips might touch

A certainty that words could never offer much

Melting in the city, dissolving in the street

My feelings are flowing until they finally meet

Surely, surely, you’re hiding it deep

The same kind of secret that I’m trying to keep

Like two stars drifting closer as we sleep

Our love deepens... quietly

If I were standing right there by your side

Looking at the same sky, with nothing to hide

I feel like I could tell you, just a little part

Of the melody playing inside of my heart

Softly, softly, our futures start to blend

To a place past the horizon, where shadows end

Making a wish on the velvet night sky

I’m walking toward you, no more "goodbye"

Surely, surely, this moment we share

Is a brand new story written in the air

Like a distant star shining with a prayer

Our love continues... quietly

(Quietly... so quietly...)
