Selena

Met her on a Tuesday

Name tag said “Selena” at the café line

Smile like “you’re too late”

Eyes saying “you still right on time”

She laughed at my bad jokes

Wrote her number on my palm, little crooked heart

Said “call me if you ever

Wanna start, but don’t know where to start”

Selena, Selena

Got me saying your name like a hook in my brain

Selena, Selena

Every little look turn a chill to a flame

Selena, Selena

I was running in place, now I’m changing my lane

Selena, Selena

Girl you’re that verse that I can’t explain

She don’t chase trends

Thrift store jeans, paint on her hands

Head in a paperback

Phone on mute, got her own plans

Told me ’bout her hometown

Small brick church, big gossip, few friends

Said “I had to leave that

Or I’d forget what it means to begin”

We talk till the sun up

She trace constellations on my skin (yeah)

Says “every scar that you try to hide

Is the place where the light gets in”

Selena, Selena

Got me saying your name like a hook in my brain

Selena, Selena

Every little look turn a chill to a flame

Selena, Selena

I was running in place, now I’m changing my lane

Selena, Selena

Girl you’re that verse that I can’t explain

If I fall off, she check me

If I get lost, she text me (hey)

“Don’t forget who you said you’d be”

Reads it back till I believe

Selena, Selena

Got me saying your name like a hook in my brain

Selena, Selena

Every little look turn a chill to a flame

Selena, Selena

I was running in place, now I’m changing my lane

Selena, Selena

Girl you’re that verse that I can’t explain
