Out of the Box / Candice Jones

lyrics:
[spoken intro]
There was this girl..
I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I used to write her letters, hiding them away... Afraid she’d never see them, or worse— SHE MIGHT!

[verse]
I wrote her letters, hidden away,
Wondering if she’d see them one day.
Blushing and stuttering, scared to be seen,
In the shadows, living out my dream.

[Chorus]
Out of the box, little heart of mine,
You tried so hard, but the words didn’t shine.
First crush, first blush, so much to say,
But you held back, day after day.

[bridge]
(Don't blush so heavily, I told myself)
(Just act like it’s nothing, keep it cool)
(But every time you looked my way)
(My cheeks turned to red, couldn't help it!)

[verse]
I remember when I fancied you so much,
Trying to be cool, but you were out of touch.
Laughing with confidence, I wore a brave face,
But inside, I was melting, lost in your gaze.

[drums break]

[Chorus]
Out of the box, little heart of mine,
You tried so hard, but the words didn’t shine.
First crush, first blush, so much to say,
But you held back, day after day.

[verse]
You saw me laughing, holding court with ease,
A picture of confidence, like a breeze through the trees.
But inside, I was trembling, afraid to reveal,
The truth of my feelings, too shy to be real.

(People thought I was fearless and strong)
(They didn't realised how much they were wrong!)

[interlude]

[outro]
You know what? She felt the same way too,
All those hidden letters, they came through!
