[Verse 1]
You wore my letterman too big
I still see your grin in the hall
We passed notes under math class desks
Then you caught my hand by the wall
Your car smelled like wintergreen gum
And old fries in the cupholder tray
We’d laugh till the principal’s key
Turned our whole little world away
[Pre-Chorus]
And I knew, I knew
When you said my name like that
I knew, I knew
Nothing could pull me back
[Chorus]
High school sweetheart, that’s you
High school sweetheart, that’s true
You were my first real home
And I’m still running to you
Forever love, forever love
We grew and we stayed tough
High school sweetheart, that’s you
My forever love
[Verse 2]
Now we got rings and a front porch step
Same old song on a different night
You still steal my fries on purpose
Then kiss my cheek and say I’m right
We’ve got bills and a leaky sink
And the dog that chews through our plans
But you hold me like a yearbook page
Still the girl with your hand in her hand
[Pre-Chorus]
And I knew, I knew
When the whole room faded out
I knew, I knew
You were my forever now
[Chorus]
High school sweetheart, that’s you
High school sweetheart, that’s true
You were my first real home
And I’m still running to you
Forever love, forever love
We grew and we stayed tough
High school sweetheart, that’s you
My forever love
[Bridge]
From cheap seats to shared vows
From bleach stains to a calm house
We were young, then we were brave
Now I’d choose you every day
[Chorus]
High school sweetheart, that’s you
High school sweetheart, that’s true
You were my first real home
And I’m still running to you
Forever love, forever love
We grew and we stayed tough
High school sweetheart, that’s you
My forever love
[Outro]
My forever love
(high school sweetheart)
My forever love
