Shrinking Violet
(Findlay / Josh)

Safe until the darkness falls

To loneliness a demon calls

Creeping in, arousing my fears 

To breathe a language that no one else hears

Can I cope alone tonight? 

The shrinking violet I've become inside

To you I may seem insecure

But did you know me what I was before?

I remember dancing as a child
A careless confidence danced with me 

Whatever happened to the sun?

Only seemed to notice when it had gone


Lead me back to where it seems 

I danced alone in sunlit dreams

Unafraid to play with fire

With a view through a child's eyes, naive and wild
Can I cope alone tonight?

The shrinking violet I've become inside

To you I may seem insecure

But did you know me what I was before?

I remember dancing as a child
A careless confidence danced with me 

Whatever happened to the sun?

Only seemed to notice when it had

If I ever meet again with her
Could I tell her I could live with her?

If I ever meet again with her

I will tell her I could live with her
I will cope alone tonight

I'll fight these demons that I've tried to describe

I won't be so insecure
I will show you what I was before

I will dance then as a child

A careless confidence will dance with me

I'll be warmed there, by the sun

You would notice when I had gone
