Make a little conversation,
so long I've been waiting
to let go of myself and feel alive.
So many nights I thought it over,
told myself I kind of liked her,
but there was something missing in her eyes.

I was stumbling, looking in the dark
with an empty heart.
But you say you feel the same,
could we ever be enough?
Baby, we could be enough.

And it's alright.
Calling out for somebody to hold tonight,
when you're lost, you'll find a way
I'll be your light.
You'll never feel like you're alone.
I'll make this feel like home.

So hot that I couldn't take it,
want to wake up and see your face
and remember how good it was being here last night.
Still high with a little feeling,
I see the smile as it starts to creep in.
It was there, I saw it in your eyes.

I was stumbling, looking in the dark
with an empty heart.
But you say you feel the same.
Could we ever be enough?
Baby, we could be enough.

And it's alright.
Calling out for somebody to hold tonight.
When you're lost, you'll find a way,
I'll be your light.
You'll never feel like you're alone,
I'll make this feel like home.
I'll make this feel like home.
Baby, we could be enough.
It's alright.
Calling out for somebody to hold tonight,
when you're lost, you'll find a way
I'll be your light.
You'll never feel like you're alone.
I'll make this feel like home.
lyrics. not mine.

Just for the record, this is not a "conspiracy" to think this is a queer love song because Harry literally said you can take the meanings to be different for different people and this song quite literally sounds exactly like it feels to realize you're not straight and fall in love with someone you're not "supposed" to be in love with. Songs can mean whatever you want them to. And this one was specifically written in a certain way- they didn't HAVE to switch from female pronouns to neutral pronouns, they didn't HAVE to say something was missing in her eyes that was later in your eyes, they didn't HAVE to talk about thinking it over at night and telling yourself you kind of like a girl. But they did. It's not reaching at all. You have to be very blatantly ignoring the lyrics and production of this song in a violently heteronormative way not to see it.
