I catch the shadow falling 'cross your face
There's a secret that your lips won't let erase
It's the way you look at me across the room
Like a midnight flower waiting just to bloom
The autumn breeze is pulling at the trees
While the porch swing sways to unseen melodies
Your eyes are holding on to yesterdays
But your fingertips are begging me to stay
We've been waiting on the edges of the night
While the embers softly fade into the light
I can feel the heat beneath your quiet sigh
And I know exactly what you can't deny
Oh, it's the hidden smile you try so hard to keep
The one that wakes me up when I am fast asleep
You can fold your arms and act like you don't care
But I feel the longing heavy in the air
That hidden smile
Yeah, you pull me under closer than you should
There's a lonely stretch of highway in my mind
But you're the only destination I can find
Every time you turn your head to look away
I can hear the things you really want to say
We've been walking on the borders of the truth
Getting tangled in the memories of our youth
I can trace the gentle shiver on your skin
And I know you're finally ready to give in
Oh, it's the hidden smile you try so hard to keep
The one that wakes me up when I am fast asleep
You can fold your arms and act like you don't care
But I feel the longing heavy in the air
That hidden smile
Yeah, you pull me under closer than you should
I've been searching every corner of this town
Trying not to let my heavy spirit drown
Now Sayed is standing right before your eyes
Hoping you will pull away the thin disguise
I never thought a quiet moment could be so loud
But when you smile, the whole world fades away
Oh, it's the hidden smile you try so hard to keep
The one that wakes me up when I am fast asleep
I will hold you close until the morning light
'Cause that hidden smile is everything tonight
There's a secret that your lips won't let erase
It's the way you look at me across the room
Like a midnight flower waiting just to bloom
The autumn breeze is pulling at the trees
While the porch swing sways to unseen melodies
Your eyes are holding on to yesterdays
But your fingertips are begging me to stay
We've been waiting on the edges of the night
While the embers softly fade into the light
I can feel the heat beneath your quiet sigh
And I know exactly what you can't deny
