Be my

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

But I’m standing here trying not to rush the dream

‘Cause even kings have to start at the beginning

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

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

I’m not scared of the future, I’m ready for it all

But I want to climb every step so we never fall

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

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

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
