[Verse 1]
Headphones on
I’m in my lane
Coffee cup
Same old Monday
Then I see her step off the curb
Red jacket
Wild hair
I lose my words
Heart skips
Traffic starts to blur
Every move just circles her
Think “say hi
” but my tongue just twists
Hands in pockets
Chance half-missed
[Chorus]
I saw a girl
World started spinning
Tried to be cool
Already tripping
Rehearsed my lines
They all got worse
Before I spoke
She got to me first
Hey
You smiled and my guard went missing
Turned my crush into something different
Thought I’d ask you
Heart might burst
But you leaned in
You got to me first (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
She catches me staring
Looks right back
Little smirk like she’s in on that
I look away
Then I look again
She’s crossing over
I can’t pretend
Pulse loud
Like a kick on two and four
She’s one step
Two steps from my door
I plan a joke
Then I choke
Of course
Then she laughs and changes course
[Chorus]
I saw a girl
World started spinning
Tried to be cool
Already tripping
Rehearsed my lines
They all got worse
Before I spoke
She got to me first
Hey
You smiled and my guard went missing
Turned my crush into something different
Thought I’d ask you
Heart might burst
But you leaned in
You got to me first
[Bridge]
She says
“I’ve seen you here all the time
Same old cup
Same crooked smile
Wanna skip this sidewalk scene
Grab a drink
Be late for everything?” (hey!)
I laugh too loud
Say “yeah
Okay”
All my cool just melts away
Didn’t think that I deserved
To hear her say those magic words
[Chorus]
I saw a girl
World started spinning
Tried to be cool
Already tripping
Rehearsed my lines
They all got worse
Before I spoke
She got to me first
Now we walk slow
Talking and grinning
New kind of life I might be living
Thought I’d ask you
Heart might burst
But you smiled and you got to me first
[Outro]
Headphones off
New song playing
Same old street
But everything’s changing
I used to dream
Now I rehearse
Our next date since you got to me first (oh yeah)
