The melody and musicality of this song is a reflection of the lyrics. With soft and subtle synth beats reflective of an 80s sound, the melody itself is soft and “shy.” It never rises or drops too dramatically, but just flows and swirls in tranquility – much like Shura herself seems to do as a shy gi...
[Verse 1]
I turned up with my cap on back to front
Trying to be someone I saw on TV once
You were sitting by the window looking out for me

And now it’s all that I can think about
[Chorus]
It’s taken me so long
Maybe I’m just too shy to say it
We could be more than friends
But maybe I’m just too shy
[Bridge]

And talk about that film instead of us
Even though throughout it I was thinking
I was gonna say I love you afterwards
[Chorus]
It’s taken me so long
Maybe I’m just too shy to say it
We could be more than friends
But maybe I’m just too shy
