Out of my league Lyrics

I see you walking down the street

Confidence in every heartbeat

You light up every place you go

A star that everyone wants to know

Your laugh, it's music, pure and fine

A melody that won't be mine

I stand here in the shadowed glow

Dreaming of a love I can't show

I'm just a face in the crowded space

Lost in your orbit, feeling out of place

Wondering if you'd ever see

The quiet hope inside of me

I wish you were not out of my league

Not a dream that I could never reach

If I could just believe you'd see

All the things I'd hope to be

I wish you were not so far above

Close enough to fall in love

But here I stand, afraid to speak

Loving someone out of my league

I write your name in empty skies

A thousand ways to catch your eyes

But you've got places you belong

Where I can't go, where I don't belong

I try to change, I try to shine

Rewrite the stars and realign

But wishing wells can't change the truth

I'm a ghost lost in your youth

I'm just a whisper in the wind

A story you'd never begin

Still I dream, though it seems unfair

Pretending I'm not so scared

I wish you were not out of my league

Not a dream that I could never reach

If I could just believe you'd see

All the things I'd hope to be

I wish you were not so far above

Close enough to fall in love

But here I stand, afraid to speak

Loving someone out of my league

Maybe one day, I'll let it go

Find the courage to let you know

But until then, I'll keep this flame

Burning with the hope and pain

I'd give my heart for just one chance

To hold your gaze, to share a dance

But dreams can only take me so far

When you're a wish and I'm a scar

I wish you were not out of my league

Not a dream that I could never reach

If I could just believe you'd see

All the things I'd hope to be

I wish you were not so far above

Close enough to fall in love

But here I stand, afraid to speak

Loving someone out of my league

So I'll keep on dreaming secretly

Holding on to what we'll never be

'Cause loving you's a sweet defeat

With you forever out of reach.
