Seventeen Star

(Verse 1)

Fourteen summers in her chest

He walks in, she forgets the rest

Seventeen, a little wild

With quiet words and crooked smiles

He plays guitar, a sweet escape

Texts her jokes that make her break

She saves them all like souvenirs

From someone lightyears, yet so near

(Pre-Chorus)

He doesn’t see the way she glows

Or how his glance can steal her soul

To him, it’s just a little thing

To her, he’s everything

(Chorus)

She’s fourteen, he’s seventeen

And when he looks, she starts to dream

There’s something in the way he sees

Like calm waves just beneath the breeze

He plays a song and doesn’t know

She hears it deeper than he wrote

She’s holding on to something far

Her seventeen star

(Verse 2)

He calls her smart and laughs out loud

He doesn’t know he makes her proud

Just by being who he is

A little edge, a little bliss

He sends her songs at 10:03

She plays them like a symphony

And every time, it feels brand new

Like skies that shift from gray to blue

(Pre-Chorus)

He doesn’t know how long she stares

At nothing, just imagining there

Might be a world where hearts align

But this one's not the time

(Chorus)

She’s fourteen, he’s seventeen

And when he looks, she starts to dream

There’s something quiet in his eyes

Like secret skies before sunrise

He strums a chord, she floats away

In stories she can’t even say

She’s falling from a little far

For her seventeen star

(Bridge)

Maybe one day it’ll just be

A boy who saw the best in me

And that’ll be enough to keep

In the corners of her sleep

(Final Chorus)

She’s fourteen, he’s seventeen

Too close to touch, too far to mean

But he gave her a light to find

In late-night songs and borrowed time

He may not know he left a mark

But he still shines inside her heart

A boy who lit her world
