I wish you knew all the ways I love you I pray each night For just a second of your time And I watch you dance And I can't help but wonder if I took this step Would you notice me at all? It's just so hard to be so brave Try to say it all but I never say it Try to stand so tall but I'm so damn afraid So afraid Underneath it all we're just kids with big dreams and a stubborn heart behind smiles and hand me downs We're all looking for that light A little scared Of the dark Sometimes I glance Longer than I should, yeah Hoping I might catch your eyes Wandering around this big ol' room Sink or swim One day I will whisper In your ear and tell you Everything I've been dying to It's just so hard to be so brave I try to say it all but I never say it Try to stand so tall but I'm so damn afraid So afraid Underneath it all we're just kids with big dreams and a stubborn heart behind smiles and hand me downs We're all looking for that light A little scared Underneath it all we're just kids with big dreams and a stubborn heart behind smiles and hand me downs We're all looking for that light A little scared Of the dark
