I spent months lost in stories
Trying to find a girl that didn’t exist
Someone with chaos in her laughter
And softness hidden in her kiss
A little reckless, little nerdy
Pretty eyes behind a book
The kind of soul that feels like autumn
The kind you notice with one look
Anime nights and coffee mornings
Minecraft shirts and messy hair
Talking manga in a bookstore
Like she’d always been right there
And maybe it sounds crazy
But sitting here tonight
Somewhere between the pages
I was always searching for you
You feel like the book I don’t wanna put down
The one I carry everywhere through every part of town
The cover caught my eye
But the story pulled me in
And I know it’s only the first date
But God, the timing feels so right
’Cause after all these months of fantasy
You walked out of the pages and into my life
No crowded bars, no drunken small talk
No pretending to be someone else
Just Barnes & Noble, coffee steam
And two book lovers being themselves
You get excited over stories
The same way that I do
And somehow that small little thing
Feels bigger than it should
You’re not trying to be perfect
That’s what keeps pulling me close
You’re just fully, wildly yourself
And damn… I think I love that most
Maybe love ain’t fireworks
Maybe it’s quieter than that
Maybe it’s somebody reaching for the same book
And both of you smiling back
Maybe it’s finally meeting
The person you wrote songs about
Before you even knew their name
You feel like the book I don’t wanna put down
The one I carry everywhere through every part of town
The cover caught my eye
But the story pulled me in
And I know it’s only the first date
But God, the timing feels so right
’Cause after all these months of fantasy
You walked out of the pages and into my life
