Be my

[Verse 1]
I’ve pictured it a thousand times in my hectic mind
You walking through the door with a tired smile, leaving the world behind
Your head on my chest, my arms pulling you close
The day finally ends when I’m holding you the most
I know how the story’s supposed to go
Forever looks perfect with you in it 
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m standing here trying not to rush the dream
‘Cause even kings have to start at the beginning
[Chorus]
I want you to be the one
The one I hold when the lights go low
The one I kiss slow when the night moves slow
The one I come home to, the end of every long day
The one my heart already calls “always”
There’s no doubt in me, it’s you I choose
But before I say forever
Can you just be my girlfriend first?
Let me love you like that, let me earn the rest
[Verse 2]
We don’t need a ring yet, don’t need vows on a page
Just your hand in mine walking out of this stage
No more wondering and hoping you feel 
Even half of the fire that’s burning in me still
I want late-night talks that turn into dawn
Your voice in the dark when the whole world’s gone
I want simple things that feel like everything
Your name on my phone lighting up the screen
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not scared of the future, I’m ready for it all
But I want to climb every step so we never fall
[Chorus]
I want you to be the one
The one I hold when the lights go low
The one I kiss slow when the night moves slow
The one I come home to, the end of every long day
The one my heart already calls “always”
There’s no doubt in me, girl, it’s you I choose
But before I say forever
Can you just be my girlfriend first?
Let me love you like that, let me earn the rest
[Bridge]
Calling you mine, even just for tonight
Would be the start of everything I’ve longed for
The first page of the life I can already see at the door
So take your time, I’ll wait right here
But know my heart’s already there
[Final Chorus – softer, closer]
You’re already the one
The one I hold in every dream I know
The one I’d kiss slow if you’d let me show
The one I’d come home to, every single day
The one my soul already calls “stay”
There’s no doubt, no question, it’s only you
But before I promise forever
Can I just call you my girlfriend?
Let me love you here, let me love you true
And I’ll spend every tomorrow
Proving I’m the one for you
