Just click the flag (Verse 1)The streetlights flicker through the window pane Tracing gold geometric shapes in the rainI catch my reflection in the glass and turn away I hate the way I look, the clumsy things I say My voice sounds wrong, my posture’s always weak I lose my footing every time I try to speak But my mind is a canvas of the things I care about A quiet stadium when the lights go out And when I remember the way you caught your breath The internal noise settles, and I can take a breath. (Chorus)I’m tracing the edge of the courage I need Watching you laugh while my racing thoughts bleed But I freeze up completely the closer you get I'm terrified you'd never want me back That you'll see all the physical flaws that I trackI’m trying to build a bridge through the quiet space Hoping my heart is enough to earn a place. (Verse 2)You’re talking about the books you want to read Unaware you’re the exact inspiration I need I look at you and wonder how someone so bright Could ever look at me and think I’m worth the sight If you look past my skin, my awkward, broken frame the person inside enough to make you say my name?Because I know my thoughts are kind, my loyalty is deepI have a million stories that I want to keep I dress my nerves up in a quiet smile Just happy to sit beside you for a little while. (Bridge)What if my silence is the safest place to stay?What if my awkward words blow your clouds away?I’m so tired of the doubting inside my own mind But your spirit is the sweetest anchor I could find. (Chorus)I’m tracing the edge of the courage I need Watching you laugh while my racing thoughts bleed But I freeze up completely the closer you get I'm terrified you'd never want me back That you'll see all the physical flaws that I trackI’m trying to build a bridge through the quiet space Hoping my heart is enough to earn a place. (Outro)The clock strikes four.Just my thoughts and my soul.I hope that's enough.I’m still right here.
