Shy Girl

from Shy Girl EP by Jess Klein

lyrics

If I stand perfectly still, eyes and nose aimed at the ceiling
If I act cool, to the point of chill
Frozen limbs, and no sign of feeling

While the world around us seems to dip and twirl and sway
Maybe I’m afraid to show how hard my heart’s been pounding
Since you looked my way

And if you wanted me
I would not stand a chance
Because through me you’d see
The shy girl at the dance

A shy girl, who’s dreamed about this night
Lookin’ back on an old photograph
Homemade dress, and her eyes reflecting the spinning lights
And the hopes that never came to pass

The crowd moves with the band
I’m trying so hard to refrain
But when you hold my hand
Spinning lights appear before my eyes again

Chorus
You there holding up the wall, don’t you wanna tear it down?
With the simplest of moves, maybe turn this thing around
Chorus
