From ...J ......K
Daphine
I see you reading by the window, coffee growing cold
There's a story in the silver hair, more than I've been told
You laugh about your twenties, like they're some distant shore
And I just sit here listening, always wanting more
You don't see the way I watch you, the way my silence strains
I've rehearsed this conversation a thousand times in the rain
'Cause I kept this feeling inside for so long
Afraid to write a heart into this song(Daphine)
But you are older and wise, that's why I made a wise choice
Lost in the timber of your low, sweet voice
The world calls it a fever, but they don't understand
I'm not a boy lost looking, I'm a grown man making a stand
And I'm stuck with you, like a harbor keeps the sea
The only place my restless heart wants to be
You say you're just a chapter, that I'll close and put away
But every word you've lived through, I want to read them every day
You've taught me that the sunset is better than the dawn
'Cause it doesn't burn so brightly, but it promises to stay on
I've dated girls in starlight, all glitter and no core
But you're the quiet gravity I keep on coming back for
'Cause I kept this feeling inside for so long (Daphine)
Afraid to write a heart into this song
But you are older and wise, that's why I made a wise choice
Lost in the timber of your low, sweet voice
The world calls it a fever, but they don't understand
I'm not a boy lost looking, I'm a grown man making a stand
And I'm stuck with you, like a harbor keeps the sea
The only place my restless heart wants to be
Daphine Let them whisper 'what a shame'
I'll whisper back your name
This isn't some boy's fantasy
It's the first real thing that's ever happened to me
So don't you dare say "someday you'll leave"
That's a future I don't want to believe
Because I kept this feeling inside for so long
Finally found the courage to sing this song
Daphine
