Silhouettes
Ray Lyrics

Ah ah ah ah ah
The singer starts the song with a series of nonverbal sounds that convey a sense of longing or heartache.

Took a walk and passed your house late last night
The singer went for a walk near the house of the person they are in love with, perhaps hoping to catch a glimpse of them.

All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight
The window shades were completely closed, blocking out any light or visibility from outside.

From within, the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Despite the closed shades, there was a faint light on inside the house that cast the shadows of two people on the window shade.

Oh, what a lovely couple they made
The sight of the two shadows made the singer feel envious and sad, but they couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the silhouettes.

Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
The shadow of a man can be seen holding the person the singer is in love with in a loving embrace.

Kisses I could almost taste in the night
The singer feels like they can almost taste the kisses being shared by the couple, even though they are not actually there.

Wondered why I'm not the guy whose silhouette's on the shade
The singer wonders why they are not the person in the shadow, enjoying the love and affection of the person they desire.

I couldn't hide the tears in my eyes
The emotions of jealousy and heartbreak become too much for the singer, and they cry tears of sadness and loss.

Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore
The singer becomes overwhelmed with emotion and pays an impromptu visit to the person they are in love with, feeling both hurt and desperate.

Let me in or else I'll beat down your door
The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to see the object of their desire, even if it means breaking down the door.

When two strangers who have been two silhouettes on the shade
The singer is surprised when they realize that the people they saw in the shadow were actually two strangers who happened to be in the house together.

Said to my shock, "You're on the wrong block"
The strangers inform the singer that they are at the wrong house, adding insult to injury and making the singer feel even more foolish and embarrassed.

Rushed out to your house with wings on my feet
After realizing their mistake, the singer hurries to the house of the person they actually want to see, full of hope and love.

Loved you like I'd never loved you, my sweet
The singer expresses their love for the person in a passionate and heartfelt way, pledging their undying devotion and affection.

Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
The singer makes a promise that the two of them will be together, creating their own beautiful silhouettes for all to see.

All of our days, two silhouettes on the shade
The singer repeats their promise, saying that they will be with their love for the rest of their days, creating a life of happiness and beauty together.

Silhouette's (silhouette's) silhouette's (silhouette's) Silhouette's (silhouette's) ty oh, oh oh Silhouette's (silhouette's) silhouette's (silhouette's) Silhouette's (silhouette's) ty oh, oh oh
These repeated lines serve as a chorus, highlighting the theme of the song: two people coming together and creating their own beautiful, lasting image.

Two silhouettes on the shade
The final line of the song reinforces the theme of creating a lasting, beautiful image together, and serves as a reminder of the power of love and togetherness.
