143 babyyyy

By November you were here, Texas left behind

Michigan cold, but you still chose mine

Whole life packed up just to build it with Heat

And somehow you still knock me off my feet

One four three, that’s all I gotta send

Old-school beeper code, but the feeling never ends

Still look at you like the first damn night

Like loving you is new every time you’re in my sight

Southbound dreams, someday we’ll make that run

Michigan behind us, Texas in the sun

Life got heavy, but one thing stayed true

After all this time, I still fall for you

I love your sarcasm, jokes always on hand

Smooth delivery, every punchline lands

And You don’t keep a crowd, don’t pretend everybody’s close

So if you fuck with somebody, they already know

Little “bodyguard” stays quiet, outta view

Never gotta flash it just to prove what you’ll do

To keep me safe

Texas raised, cold demeanor, smart-ass grin

And somehow I still fall every time you walk in

March twelfth, something started to change

Twenty-sixth, I knew it was more than a game

Twenty-ninth, I finally let my feelings be known

You hit me with one 4 3 and suddenly I was home

Thirty-first, three words finally came through

No code that time—I said, “I love you”

And somehow after everything we’ve been through

Those words still hit me like they’re brand fucking new

One 4 3, baby, that’s all I gotta send

Same little code, same fire again

Still look at you like the first damn night

Like this last year only pulled us tighter

Southbound dreams, we ain’t giving up

But Every time we get ahead, life calls our bluff

Broke, stressed, laughing—I’d still choose you

’Cause this strained love still feels brand new

Ill always Remember mozzarella sticks

Butter noodles, and ice cream on a stick

Red Bulls stacked like water by the bed

Formula One running while you talk your shit again

It’s the little things I never wanna lose

The way you make me laugh when I’m in a mood

The stupid conversations way too late at night

The way the whole damn room feels different when you’re by my side

It’s knowing your silence, your laugh, your stare

Knowing when you need me without you saying it there

Knowing all your rough edges, every scar you hide

And somehow still loving you even more with time

You left Texas behind because you wanted us

Now we’re fighting like hell just to get back south

And when that Texas state line comes into view

There ain’t nobody I’d rather ride beside than you

Maybe love ain’t butterflies every damn day

Maybe it’s choosing each other when life gets in the way

Knowing somebody down to their bones

And still getting that feeling when they call you home

One 4 3, and I mean it like then

I’d choose you over and over again

Every fight, every mile, every dream we pursue

I’d still pick Smug—I’d still pick you

Southbound someday, whenever it comes

Till we’re back underneath that Texas sun

Time can change everything it wants to

I still love you like my love is brand new.
