The streetlight hums a quiet tune
I see your shadow cross the room
My heart begins to race again
Just like it always does, my friend
You turn around, I look away
Pretend I'm looking at the display
Of some old store I've never seen
My cheeks are burning, turning green
Your footsteps echo down the block
I count each one around the clock
If you should turn and see me here
I'd disappear, I'd disappear
My stealthy heart, it beats so loud
A secret hidden in the crowd
I hold my breath, I freeze in place
When you get close, I lose all grace
You pass me by without a glance
I take a breath, I take a chance
To watch you walk into the night
A tiny flicker, out of sight
But wait, you stop and check your phone
The light illuminates your face alone
Did you just feel me watching you
What would I do? What could I do
My stealthy heart, it beats so loud
A secret hidden in the crowd
I hold my breath, I freeze in place
When you get close, I lose all grace
You stand there, just ten feet away
I dare not move, I dare not say
A single word, a single sound
My whole world spinning, turning round
My stealthy heart, it beats so loud
A secret hidden in the crowd
I hold my breath, I freeze in place
When you get close, I lose all grace
You're gone, I'm safe, the night is mine again
Just me and shadows, once again
The streetlight hums a quiet tune
