[Verse 1]
You were picking up your coffee
I was cutting after class
Sharpie hearts on my biology notes
Trying not to stare when you laughed
You talk about your rent and your burnout
I’m still begging rides from my dad
Same town
Two different timelines
Crashing into what we can’t have
[Pre-Chorus]
You say "you’re just a kid"
I say "I feel too much"
You pull your hand away
But we’re already touched
[Chorus]
Soulmate
Forbidden love
Wrong page in the right book
Age lines drawn in ink between us
Every stolen look
If I’d been born later
Or you’d been frozen in time
Soulmate
Forbidden love
You’re almost mine
Never mine
[Verse 2]
You drop me three streets from my house
Engine humming
Holding the night
Playlist stuck on all the songs
That feel a little too right
You tell me all your almost-weddings
I tell you all my almost fights
You say
"this can’t be our story"
But you still text me
"you up?" most nights
[Pre-Chorus]
You say "this isn’t fair"
I say "then why’re you here?"
You look away from me
Your eyes stay crystal clear
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m counting years like ceiling cracks
How long till we could meet again?
Would it still hurt the same
If you were just another friend?
You kiss my forehead
Not my mouth
Call me "kid
" but hold me close
Every line you’re drawing shakes
Like you’re scared to let it go
[Chorus]
