[Verse 1]
In the halls of a sunlit school
Laughter echoed, bright and full
He was the one who made them smile
With crooked socks and jokes in piles
But love was something he never knew
Till one soft breeze and a sudden view
She stood beneath the old tree's shade
A moment paused, a heartbeat swayed
[Pre-Chorus]
He thought, "She's way beyond my reach"
"That boy beside her? Out of my league."
So he turned and walked away
Carried on with jokes and games
[Chorus]
But even as he played the clown
Something gentle pulled him down
He'd stare through glass at skies above
Wondering if this might be love
[Verse 2]
Then fate, with paper flying wild
Brought her steps into his aisle
A binder to the face, a stumble meet
Then her voice—soft, kind, and sweet
She knew his name, she knew his smile
Had laughed from just a few desks down the aisle
And in her eyes, he found surprise
That someone saw past all disguise
[Pre-Chorus]
They walked the halls, they shared a seat
Her volleyball tales, his scattered dreams
He made her laugh without a script
She listened like each word was a gift
[Chorus]
He gave her trinkets just for fun
Drawn four-leaf clovers, candy suns
And she, in turn, kept every piece
As if they meant the world—or peace
[Bridge]
Whispers circled in the breeze
Of glances shared and growing ease
He asked one day with quiet grace
If that tall boy had claimed her space
She laughed so hard, she nearly cried
"That's my brother, nothing to hide"
And he, relieved, just softly grinned
As something more bloomed deep within
[Chorus]
He drew them both in stick-ink lines
A court, a smile, a punchline rhyme
Beneath it all, he simply wrote:
"I want this feeling. Let it grow."
[Outro]
And she, with eyes that understood
Said, "Maybe we could. Maybe we should."
No fireworks, no sweeping kiss
Just something shy...
Something sweet...
Something like this.
