Verse 1
Summer heat on an outdoor court
Ball hit the ground, heard nothin’ but my thoughts
Then I saw you standin’ by the sideline
Sun in your eyes, froze me in time
I crossed up life, took my shot
Didn’t know love was waitin’ in the lot
Crowd faded out, it was just us two
Funny how the game led me to you
Pre-Chorus
I was playin’ for the win, not expectin’ fate
But your smile hit harder than a fast break
Heart skipped beats, I lost my pace
Fell in love in the middle of the game
Chorus
It was love at first sight, right there on the floor
One look at you, I ain’t playin’ no more
I took the shot, but you stole my soul
From that moment, I was already sold
Sweat on my skin, butterflies too
Game on the line, but I’m watchin’ you
I came to hoop, but I found somethin’ true
Love at first sight when I played for you
Verse 2
You cheered every bucket like you knew my name
Looked at me like I was more than the game
When the buzzer sounded, I walked your way
Heart beatin’ faster than the final play
We talked like we’d done this before
Laughin’ barefoot on the court next door
You said, “You play with a lot of heart”
Didn’t know you were ‘bout to take mine apart
Pre-Chorus
I been in love with the game my whole life
But you made me see a different highlight
Every jump shot, every drive
Led me straight to you that night
Chorus
It was love at first sight, right there on the floor
One look at you, I ain’t playin’ no more
I took the shot, but you stole my soul
From that moment, I was already sold
Sweat on my skin, butterflies too
Game on the line, but I’m watchin’ you
I came to hoop, but I found somethin’ true
Love at first sight when I played for you
Bridge (Soft, Intimate)
If I never stepped on that court that day
If I missed that game, walked away
Would I still be searchin’ for what feels right?
Or was this written in the gym lights?
Now every time I lace these shoes
I remember the moment I met you
Final Chorus (Lift)
Love at first sight, no replay needed
One glance and my heart conceded
They say the game ends when the clock runs out
But our love started when the lights went down
From blacktop dreams to real-life plans
I found forever in your hands
I thought basketball was my destiny
But love showed up and dunked on me
Outro
Still play the game, but now I know
Some wins don’t show on the scoreboard though
That first shot changed my whole view
I fell in love the day I played for you
