Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 We were just kids with messy hair, Sharing pencils, broken chairs, You’d sit beside me every day, Close enough but miles away. You’d ask me for an extra page, I’d freeze and forget what to say, Your shoulder almost touching mine, And my heart racing every time. Pre-Chorus We never talked about our dreams, Never crossed that in-between, Just simple laughs and passing notes, And feelings no one ever wrote. Chorus You were my seatmate in the back row, The little secret you didn’t know, I liked you more than I should show, But I was scared to let it go. Now graduation came and went, And all those words I never sent, Still echo in my mind today… You were my almost, anyway. Verse 2 Caps in the air, goodbye waves, Different paths and separate ways, I thought that maybe time would fade The silly crush I never said. But every time I hear your name, It still feels just the same, Like I’m that girl in uniform, Trying to act a little strong. Pre-Chorus We weren’t close, we barely tried, Just quiet glances I would hide, You never knew what I would feel, How something small could be so real. Chorus You were my seatmate in the back row, The little secret you didn’t know, I liked you more than I could show, But I was scared to let it go. Now years have slowly passed us by, But you still cross my mind at night, A memory I can’t replace… My silent crush from second grade. Bridge (Soft / Nostalgic) Maybe you don’t remember me, Just another face you’d see, But you were everything to mine, In that small classroom in time. If I could go back just one day, I’d finally find the words to say, Before we walked our separate ways… Before we turned the final page. Final Chorus (Emotional / Gentle) You were my seatmate long ago, The first love I’ll never outgrow, Even if you’ll never know, How much I wished you stayed close. We weren’t close, we didn’t start… But you still live inside my heart. Just a boy from elementary… Still a memory to me.
