(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
