That One Boy

[Verse 1]
You walk in
Whole room tilts
Laugh hits the ceiling
My heart spills
You don't even see me
Not like that
I'm the friend in the corner
And I stay back
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep missing that one boy
The one I know I can't have
Dreaming on a maybe
I never really had
Writing little stories
You'll never get to read
Missing that one boy
That's never gonna need me
[Verse 2]
You tell me
'bout the girls you date
I nod like
I'm okay
I wait
Save all the things
That I won't say
Fold 'em in my pillow
End of the day
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep missing that one boy
The one I know I can't have
Dreaming on a maybe
I never really had
Writing little stories
You'll never get to read
Missing that one boy
That's never gonna need me
[Bridge]
If I was her
Would you turn my way?
If I said it out loud
Would you stay? (would you stay?)
So I bite my tongue
Just to keep you near
Loving you in silence
Year after year
[Chorus]
I keep missing that one boy
The one I know I can't have
Holding on to daydreams
That only make me sad
Building little worlds
Where you reach for me
Missing that one boy
Who's never gonna see me
Missing that one boy
Who's never gonna need me

Moody midtempo R&B with female vocals; smoky electric piano and warm bass under a tight, head-nod groove. Verses keep it intimate with close-mic vocal, subtle finger snaps, and soft pads; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, airy ad-libs, and a slightly wider drum pocket. Bridge strips to chords and vocal runs, then final hook returns lush and bittersweet., r&b
