Original lyrics
ENBaby, I
I know you think that love is overrated
That people only hide behind its name instead
But I saw your hand tremble on the glass
When I said I was leaving early
Maybe your own eyes don't know
What is fear and what is desire
I just notice how you breathe differently
Baby, I
I don't know if you want me
Baby, I
I just know you hesitate
You stay one second longer at the door
Before you decide you need to go
Baby, I
Baby, baby, baby
You run away from it, but I talk about gestures
About the way your voice drops when I get close
It's not proof, it's not a declaration
It's just a detail I choose to keep
Maybe your own eyes don't know
What is fear and what is desire
I just notice how the silence weighs differently
Some things are just louder when they're silent
Baby, I
I don't know if you want me
Baby, I
I just know you hesitate
You stay one second longer at the door
Before you decide you need to go
Baby, I
Baby, baby, baby
I won't say that I'm certain
Won't pretend to read what you don't say
I'll just stay here, noticing
The spaces between what you say and what you do
Baby, I
Maybe you don't even know
Baby, I
Maybe I don't know either
There's only this moment
Before the door
Before the I have to go
Baby, I
