Shyer Lyrics
London Grammar
Lyrics
I'm feeling shyer and the world gets darker
Hold yourself a little higher
Bridge that gap just further
And all your being
I'd ask you to give it up
Oh ancient feeling love
So beautifully dressed up
Feeling shyer, I'm feeling shyer
I'm feeling shyer
Maybe you should call her
Deep in the night for her
And all your being I'd ask you to give it up
I'd ask you to give it up
