I was late to soundcheck, strings all tangled,
Pedalboard a mess and the cables mangled.
Ran onstage with a half‑tuned Strat,
Didn’t think the night would go like that.
Then I saw you leaning on the barricade,
Singing every line like the world you made.
Didn’t know your name but I swear I froze—
You hit me harder than the kick drum blows.
Spotlights flickered, I forgot my part,
’Cause you were louder than my racing heart.
You stole my heart in the front row,
Jumping like the floor was gonna explode.
I missed a chord but you didn’t care—
You just laughed and tossed your neon hair.
Now every show feels a little too slow,
’Cause I’m still chasing that first hello.
Yeah, everything changed and you don’t even know—
You stole my heart in the front row.
After the set I was drenched in sweat,
That wasn’t the only thing wet.
But you walked up with a wristband grin,
Said, “Your guitar’s cool, but you should tune it again.”
We talked ’bout bands and the songs we hate,
You said mine were “chaotic but kinda great.”
I swear the venue started spinning slow—
Or maybe that was just your glow.
Didn’t need fireworks or a perfect cue,
Just a backstage hallway and a smile from you.
You stole my heart in the front row,
Jumping like the floor was gonna explode.
I missed a chord but you didn’t care—
You just laughed and tossed your neon hair.
Now every show feels a little too slow,
’Cause I’m still chasing that first hello.
Yeah, everything changed and you don’t even know—
You stole my heart in the front row.
Maybe it’s reckless, maybe it’s fate,
Maybe it’s something we shouldn’t overstate.
But I swear when you sang along off‑key,
It felt like the universe was cheering for me.
You stole my heart in the front row,
Jumping like the floor was gonna explode.
I missed a chord but you didn’t care—
You just laughed and tossed your neon hair.
Now every night when the spotlights glow,
I’m hoping you’re somewhere in the front row.
Yeah, everything changed and you don’t even know—
You stole my heart in the front row.
