Lyrics

intro

Waking up with your name on my lips Another day, chasing what I can't grip

verse

Streetlights flicker as I walk your way Your laugh echoes, pulls me into the fray Eyes meet mine like a spark in the dark But you turn away, leaving that empty mark Hands brush close, electric and sweet I dream of more, but it's one-way street

pre-chorus

Heart's pounding loud, can't hold it inside Gonna let it out, no more places to hide

chorus

Unreturned fire, burning bright in me You don't feel it, but I'm wild and free Spinning faster, no chains to hold This love's my rocket, watch me unfold Yeah, unrequited, but I'm flying high Heartbreak's just fuel for my endless sky

verse

Coffee mornings, your stories unfold I hang on every word, brave and bold You share your secrets, I wish for a sign But your gaze wanders, never calls me mine Still I chase the thrill of your nearness glow In this game of shadows, I'm stealing the show

pre-chorus

Pulse is racing, truth's breaking through One chance to spark, make it real with you

chorus

bridge

Maybe someday you'll see what I see Or I'll find my own light, finally free No more waiting in the wings of your world Gonna paint my own colors, let them swirl

guitar solo

chorus

outro

Flying high, yeah, I'm flying high Unrequited, but my wings touch the sky
