[Verse 1]
In the bakery's hush I fold nerves into flour.
I shape a cake like your favorite constellation, Orion in icing.
I slip a confession into the steam and sugar.
Shyness swells, but the oven’s glow is my cue to try.
[Chorus]
A pinch of spice, and courage starts to rise.
Let the flavor travel, contagious as a blush in eyes.
The 'starry surprise' makes you smile across the room.
If this bold bite works, maybe you'll see me too.
[Verse 2]
Candles blink like tiny suns as I present the gift.
I tell you I adore you, softly, with a tremor in my voice.
Your smile frees the room, cinnamon light in your eyes.
Orion shines on the crust as our paths align.
[Chorus]
A pinch of spice, and courage starts to rise.
Let the flavor travel, contagious as a blush in eyes.
The 'starry surprise' makes you smile across the room.
If this bold bite works, maybe you'll see me too.
[Bridge]
If boldness tastes this sweet, maybe love has a recipe.
A pinch more courage, a dash of fate, and we lean closer.
We toast with milk and midnight, stars leaned in to listen.
And in the quiet, I step nearer with open hands.
[Chorus]
A pinch of spice, and courage starts to rise.
Let the flavor travel, contagious as a blush in eyes.
The 'starry surprise' makes you smile across the room.
I breathe, and shy fear fades into truth.
[Outro]
Dawn finds us sharing slices and secrets.
Maybe tomorrow I'll bake the night again.
