Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were just that kid in class
Trading notes about the math
Laughing at the teacher’s jokes
Sharing gum and inside laughs
Walked the same halls every day
You’d save me a seat on the bus
Never thought twice
Never felt rushed
Just friends
Just us
[Pre-Chorus]
But then the summer got shorter
And your voice got low
I caught you looking in the mirror
Like someone I didn’t know
[Chorus]
Guess we were late to the crush
All of these years just building us up
How did I miss every moment we touched?
Passing you by in the rush
Now when you smile it’s a flood
All of the small things hitting at once
Funny it took us ’til year eleven
To fall in love
[Verse 2]
You showed up in that new shirt
I pretended not to stare
You were helping me with homework
And your knee brushed against my chair
You said my name and it felt strange
Like it suddenly meant too much
Same old letters
Brand-new weight
Same old friend I wanted to love
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every hallway feels smaller
When you walk my way
You say
“See you tomorrow”
And I replay it all day
[Chorus]
Guess we were late to the crush
All of these years just building us up
How did I miss every moment we touched?
Passing you by in the rush
Now when you smile it’s a flood
All of the small things hitting at once
Funny it took us ’til year eleven
To fall in love
[Bridge]
Maybe we needed all that time
To grow into this skin
To learn all the ways
We could lose
We could win
If I’d liked you back in year eight
Would it feel this right tonight? (yeah)
Meet me by the gate at three
Let’s rewrite our lives
[Chorus]
Guess we were late to the crush
All of these years just building us up
How did we miss every moment we touched?
Walking the line between friends and “us”
Now when you smile it’s a flood
All of the small things finally add up
Crazy it took us ’til year eleven
But I’m so glad it’s love (oh yeah)
I’m so glad it’s love
