Walk Across the Room – words and music by Ryan Sheeler (2013)
-from the album Skies and Shadows (2013)
VERSE 1
He saw her yesterday
20 years ago they sat in the same class
And worked the same old fast-food college job
PRECHORUS 1
It’d be easy to write another song to say
“I love you so much…what’s your name?” – never play that game
CHORUS
How many times do you wish
You’d just walk across the room
And meet someone and watch
The smile on their face bloom
We all need love, but we never ask
For it to come our way at last?
VERSE 2
They never did go out
‘cause he never took the step
It’s easier to be afraid
Than to worry about regret
PRECHORUS 2
The unseen chains of fear will fall away
when you connect with someone
Who’s feelin the same.
BRIDGE
Sometime it’s not about what you say
But what gets said to you
Listenin’ to what’s inside your heart
Tellin’ you the truth
