[Intro]
Oven glow, a quiet rhythm, a heart on pause
[Verse 1]
Back of the bakery, I guard a hopeful heart
A secret recipe for love cookies, waiting from the start
Your smile drifts in like cinnamon in the air
But I choke on my courage, lost in flour and glare
Then a runaway dough ball slips from the bowl and rolls across the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
If words were sugar, mine would spill as slow as honey
I'm counting breaths, hoping you might notice me
[Chorus]
Let me share this secret, the way I bake for you
Let love cookies rise under the glow of the kitchen blue
A little dash of brave, and I’d say your name out loud
Till then the dough keeps wandering, and I’m quiet in the crowd
[Verse 2]
Another chance at noon, I hover by the glass
The dough ball darts again, a mischievous little class
I reach for the courage, whisper a shaky grace
But the words crumble like sugar, vanish without a trace
[Pre-Chorus]
If fear is a recipe, I’m missing a page to turn
Maybe you’ll taste my courage when you blink and learn
[Chorus]
Let me share this secret, the way I bake for you
Let love cookies rise under the glow of the kitchen blue
A little dash of brave, and I’d say your name out loud
Till then the dough keeps wandering, and I’m quiet in the crowd
[Bridge]
One bite could open doors, one glance could seal the fate
Bravery isn’t loud; it’s choosing to push through the wait
A dash of brave beside the glaze, we might just collide
If you taste my heart in a cookie, maybe you’ll stay for the ride
[Chorus]
Let me share this secret, the way I bake for you
Let love cookies rise under the glow of the kitchen blue
A little dash of brave, and I’d say your name out loud
Till then the dough keeps wandering, and I’m quiet in the crowd
[Outro]
Maybe tomorrow the oven warms us both, and we finally talk
