[Verse 1]
You in that soft blue shirt
Laughing like you owned the room
I was a glitch, short-circed
Cup in my hand, playing it smooth
Then your fingers found my wrist
Pulled me out into the glow
Every heartbeat, every twitch
Felt like time said, "Move slow"
[Chorus]
This is our first time in the future
Right here, where your hand found mine
Little spin, little laugh, little closer
Whole world bending in that line
I didn't know your favorite color
But I knew you fit my rhyme
First time that we danced together
Felt like skipping to our future in time (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You said, "Follow, it’s easy"
Feet on fire, mind in space
I missed a step, you teased me
Wrote your smile across my face
We were clumsy, we were golden
Shoes scuffed, floor scarring up
Someone bumped us, you just folded
Right into me, like "this is us"
[Chorus]
This is our first time in the future
Right here, where your hand found mine
Little spin, little laugh, little closer
Whole world bending in that line
I didn't know your middle name yet
But I knew you matched my vibe
First time that we danced together
Felt like skipping to our future in time
[Bridge]
Fast-forward scenes in flashes
Photos we ain't taken yet
Kitchen slow-dance, laundry basket
Wedding clothes we haven't met
All that plays in one small moment
Back when I first caught your eye
Every lifetime that we grow in
Started with that awkward night (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is our first time in the future
Right here, where your hand found mine
Little spin, little laugh, little closer
Whole world bending in that line
I didn't know the storms we'd run through
Or the days we'd just get by
But the first time that we danced together
We were already stepping into our life
