You’re sitting there in the glow of your phone
Eyes on something I can’t see
You smile, but it never reaches home
Like a ghost behind the melody
I ask if the night’s been kind
You say, “yeah, I think I’m alright”
But your voice trembles just like glass
Trying not to crack tonight
And I feel it in the silence
The kind that hums beneath your skin
There’s a storm behind those eyelids
You won’t let anyone in
You say, “I think I’m alright”
But I see the oceans rise inside
You don’t have to hide the tide
I’ll be here, I’ll be here tonight
When your stars refuse to shine
I’ll light a candle in your mind
You can borrow my sunrise
I’ll be here, I’ll be here tonight
You laugh but it’s barely a sound
Like it hurts to let it out
I know that you’ve been sinking down
In the quiet, filled with doubt
You say you’re just a little tired
But your eyes tell me the rest
You’ve been walking through the fire
Trying to make it look like less
And I feel it in the distance
That space between your words and truth
If I could, I’d bridge the silence
Just to bring you back to you
You say, “I think I’m alright”
But I see the oceans rise inside
You don’t have to hide the tide
I’ll be here, I’ll be here tonight
When your stars refuse to shine
I’ll light a candle in your mind
You can borrow my sunrise
I’ll be here, I’ll be here tonight
Maybe you don’t want to talk
Maybe words just make it worse
But I’ll stay, I won’t walk
Through your calm or your curse
I can see the shadow breathe
But I won’t let it pull you deep
I’ll sit right here beneath
Your silence till you sleep
“I think I’m alright”
But I know what you mean
Through the spaces in between
You say, “I think I’m alright”
But I see the oceans rise inside
You don’t have to hide the tide
I’ll be here, I’ll be here tonight
When your stars refuse to shine
I’ll light a candle in your mind
You can borrow my sunrise
I’ll be here, I’ll be here tonight
I’ll be here tonight
Till your world feels light
You say, “I think I’m alright”
And maybe one day
You will be
