[Verse 1]
I sat by the window
With my sleeves pulled down
The lunchroom noise
Felt miles away
My phone lit up
Then dimmed again
Same tired face
In the same old day
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you looked over
Like you knew my name
One small smile
And the air changed
My pulse went loud
My hands went cold
I forgot the word
I was gonna hold
[Chorus]
First smile, first spark
You found me in the dark
First smile, first spark
Now I don't want to part
Don't let go
Stay this close
First smile, first spark
You turn my lonely into gold
[Verse 2]
Now I save you seats
By the cracked-up wall
Shared fries, shared secrets
After final bell
You write my name
On the back of notes
I pretend not to
Then I keep them close
[Pre-Chorus]
And every rumor
Feels so far away
When your shoulder brushes
My jacket sleeve
You say my laugh
Sounds like rain
Now the world
Has a softer shape
[Chorus]
First smile, first spark
You found me in the dark
First smile, first spark
Now I don't want to part
Don't let go
Stay this close
First smile, first spark
You turn my lonely into gold
[Bridge]
Maybe years from now
We'll still know this hall
Still walk past the lockers
Still feel it all
If the world gets loud
And the sky goes gray
Find me again
The same sweet way
[Final Chorus]
First smile, first spark
You found me in the dark
First smile, first spark
Now I don't want to part
Don't let go
Stay this close
First smile, first spark
You turn my lonely into gold
First smile, first spark
We were strangers, now we're home
