Right here

Verse 1

I see you every morning, by the lockers after class,

You’re laughing with your friends, but you don’t see me pass.

I rehearse all these words, but they vanish in the air,

Just a ghost in your hallway, pretending not to care.

Chorus

I’m right here, right here, if you’d ever look my way,

But you’re chasing someone else, and I’m stuck in yesterday.

I’ll keep holding onto hope, though it’s fading like the rain,

‘Cause even if you don’t see me, I’ll still whisper your name.

Verse 2

You wear that faded hoodie, the one with the torn sleeve,

And I memorize the way you walk, like you’ve got someplace to leave.

I doodle hearts in notebooks, cross out every “what if” line,

But you’re staring at your phone, and that smile’s never mine.

Bridge

Maybe I’m a fool, but I’d wait a thousand years,

Just to be the one who dries your quiet tears.

But you’re searching for a light, and I’m just a flicker low,

A candle in your shadow, content to watch you glow.

Chorus

I’m right here, right here, if you’d ever look my way,

But you’re chasing someone else, and I’m stuck in yesterday.

I’ll keep holding onto hope, though it’s fading like the rain,

‘Cause even if you don’t see me, I’ll still whisper your name.

Outro

So go on, love your stranger—I’ll stay hidden in plain sight,

Just know my heart’s a compass, and you’re always due tonight.

And if forever never comes, I’ll still say it’s true:

I loved you simple, loved you loud… even though you never knew.
