Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were six, all smiles
With a milk-white grin
And scuffed-up shoes
At the school gate
I knew your name
Before I knew my own
You held my hand
Like it was home
[Pre-Chorus]
For almost five years
You stayed by my side
My little best friend
My sun, my guide
And I didn't know
What the ache meant then
I just knew you
Again and again
[Chorus]
You were my first crush
My first bright flame
(First crush)
I still hear your name
You were my world once
Small hands, big sky
(You were my world)
And I said goodbye
[Verse 2]
We traded stickers
And secret codes
You laughed too hard
At my made-up shows
I kept your drawings
Folded in books
Like tiny maps
To where I looked
Then time moved on
And I moved too
But something in me
Stayed with you
[Pre-Chorus]
For almost five years
You were my home
A little heartbeat
I could call my own
And every good face
That came after you
Only echoed
What I once knew
[Chorus]
You were my first crush
My first bright flame
(First crush)
I still hear your name
You were my world once
Small hands, big sky
(You were my world)
And I said goodbye
[Bridge]
I never loved like that again
Not with that open, childlike grin
I’ve met soft eyes, I’ve held warm hands
Still, you remain where tenderness began
[Final Chorus]
You were my first crush
My first bright flame
(First crush)
I still hear your name
You were my world once
And I don’t know why
(You were my world)
But I still reach inside
You were my first crush
My first bright flame
(First crush)
You live in my name
