Stuck in the silence

**[Intro]**

*(Acoustic guitar picking, warm and romantic)*

**[Verse 1 - Male Baritone]**

I see you smiling, you catch my glance,

But every time, I freeze, missing my chance.

**[Verse 2 - Female Alto]**

Heart racing fast, I can’t find the words,

What if he’s feeling it too? It’s probably all in my head, it's so absurd.

**[Verse 3 - Male Baritone (Acoustic Rap)]**

Riding through the city, golden rays, we vibe,

Every laugh we share feels like a little tribe.

Your eyes light up, like stars in the night,

And every time you look away, it just feels right.

Seats together, the bus is a stage,

Dancin' on the edge, my heart's in a cage.

Chasing that moment, pulling me close,

But, do you see it? This crush I boast?

**[Verse 4 - Female Alto]**

When you’re by my side, I feel so alive,

But fear creeps in, do I dare to dive?

Counting down the days till maybe I’m brave,

Until then it’s whispers – so quiet, I save.

**[Chorus - Duet (Male Lead, Female Alto Harmony)]**

But we’re stuck in the silence, playing our parts,

Two hearts in the same school, a game of darts.

Should I say it out loud? Will you pull me near?

Or will this just linger, in whispers we fear?

**[Verse 5 - Female Alto]**

Glimpses of kindness, you always share,

When I’m feeling low, I see you there.

Gentle laughs, shyly brushing our hands,

Caught in the moment, but I’m drawing my plans.

Imagining a world, where I tell you this,

But what if I crumble? What if I miss?

**[Verse 6 - Male Baritone (Acoustic Rap)]**

Moments we laughed, in the rear of the bus,

The childish dreams, we held on to, trust.

Remember the times, your cheeks turned blush?

It’s like every glance moves me, makes my head rush.

Sketching your smile, holding it tight,

One day, I will break the silence, tell you it's right.

Every thrill of the ride, every close talk,

With every bump, wishing it’s you I could walk with.

**[Bridge - Duet (Passionate & Building)]**

So many signals lost in the air,

Two scared hearts caught in love’s daring snare.

Do you feel it too, feel the spark ignite?

Just say the word, it could feel so right.

**[Chorus - Duet (Male Lead, Female Alto Harmony)]**

But we’re stuck in the silence, playing our parts,

Two hearts in the same school, a game of darts.

Should I say it out loud? Will you pull me near?

Or will this just linger, in whispers we fear?

**[Outro - Alternating to Duet Fade]**

*(Male Baritone)* On this little bus ride, so close, yet apart,

*(Female Alto)* Just say you like me, let’s make a fresh start.

*(Duet)* Our road winds on, we laugh and we roam,

*(Duet)* But are we just shadows, or is love our home?
