## Lyrics
[verse]
I saw you crossing at the corner light
Her hand in yours under the amber shine
I kept my face so calm, so still, so tight
But something cracked along an old faultline

[chorus]
Emotion, it's rising like a tide I can't command
Emotion, it's slipping like the sand between my hands
I thought I'd built a wall of stone around my heart
But one look at you and it fell apart

[verse]
I practiced all the lines I'd never say
Rehearsed a calm I never truly owned
Then there you were, just steps across the way
And every rehearsed word turned into stone

[chorus]
Emotion, it's rising like a tide I can't command
Emotion, it's slipping like the sand between my hands
I thought I'd built a wall of stone around my heart
But one look at you and it fell apart

[bridge]
Falsetto skies are bending overhead
Every streetlight hums the words we never said
I'm not asking you to turn around
Just let me feel this out before I hit the ground

[chorus]
Emotion, it's rising like a tide I can't command
Emotion, it's slipping like the sand between my hands
I thought I'd built a wall of stone around my heart
But one look at you and it fell apart
