[Verse 1]
Back row desk, same seat every day
She walks in late, laughs it away
Highlighters, notes in the margins
Writes dreams in the lines of her assignments
She turns ‘round, asks, "You get number five?"
I got it wrong, just happy she tried
Her pen in my hand, ink on my thumb
Her smile hit me harder than the sun
[Chorus]
Patricia, got that halo when you grin
Room goes quiet when you walk in
I play it cool, keep it all on low
But you light me up more than you know
Patricia, every joke you half-tell
Got me stuck under some kind of spell
I keep it calm, let the feelings stay low
But you light me up more than you know
[Verse 2]
Group work time, she picks our team
Fakes a yawn, says she needs caffeine
We share one earbud, same old song
She hums off-key, still I sing along (yeah)
He texts her twice, screen lights her face
She types real fast, heart hits the brakes
I ask, "You good?" she nods, "I'm fine"
I just circle my name on the attendance line
[Chorus]
Patricia, got that halo when you grin
Room goes quiet when you walk in
I play it cool, keep it all on low
But you light me up more than you know
Patricia, every joke you half-tell
Got me stuck under some kind of spell
I keep it calm, let the feelings stay low
But you light me up more than you know
[Bridge]
If you ever need someone to sit with
Someone to listen to your weird quiz misses (hey)
I’ll be right here, same chair, same view
Acting like I’m focused, really just tuned to you
[Chorus]
Patricia, got that halo when you grin
Room goes quiet when you walk in
I play it cool, keep it all on low
But you light me up more than you know
Patricia, every joke you half-tell
Got me stuck under some kind of spell
I keep it calm, let the feelings stay low
But you light me up more than you know
