[Verse 1 - Girl]
You saved me a seat by the window in class
I laughed at your joke though it wasn't that fast
I wrote your name lightly on the edge of my page
Then hid it beneath all the homework and ink
I noticed you first, before you could think
A small little feeling that grew every day
[Pre-Chorus - Girl]
You asked if I wanted to walk home with you
I said yes too quickly, but you never knew
[Chorus - Both]
We were young with our hearts wide open
Passing notes like a secret token
I fell first, then you came around
Found your way when I was looking down
Even a year couldn't change what was true
I lost the thread, then I found you
Now your hand is right here in mine
Somehow we made it back in time
[Verse 2 - Boy]
I thought you were only the bright part of school
The person who made every long day feel cool
Then one rainy afternoon, you weren't there
I walked past your locker and stopped on the stairs
I missed how you hummed when you studied alone
And knew that your name had become my home
[Pre-Chorus - Boy]
I waited too long to tell you what I knew
The feeling I'd buried was leading to you
[Chorus - Both]
We were young with our hearts wide open
Passing notes like a secret token
I fell first, then you came around
Found your way when I was looking down
Even a year couldn't change what was true
I lost the thread, then I found you
Now your hand is right here in mine
Somehow we made it back in time
[Bridge - Both]
Twelve months of silence, different roads to roam
Your old number faded from my phone
Then you said hello outside the corner store
And all the missing pieces hit the floor
No perfect reason, no grand design
Just two old hearts choosing the same line
[Final Chorus - Both]
We were young with our hearts wide open
Still the promise we left unspoken
I fell first, then you came around
Now we build where we once lost ground
Even a year couldn't change what was true
I lost the thread, then I found you
Now your hand is right here in mine
We came back at the perfect time
[Outro - Both]
You noticed me first, I know that now
I found my way back somehow
No more distance, no goodbye
Just you and me, side by side
