(Verse 1)
We used to run around the neighborhood with no plans,
Just two kids with dirty shoes and scraped-up hands.
Back then you were just my buddy, someone I called a friend,
Never thought one day those memories would hit me again.
(Verse 2)
Life went on, we drifted off, years passed in between,
I got older, got wiser, thought I knew what love might mean.
Then your name showed up one night on my phone outta nowhere,
And hearing your voice again—hell, it caught me unprepared.
(Pre-Chorus)
’Cause something new lit up inside,
Something grown, something real I couldn’t hide…
(Chorus)
It only hit me when we talked again,
Feelings I never had came rushin’ in.
You smiled through the speaker and my chest caved in,
Didn’t know I could fall for the girl I’d known back then.
You said you felt the same once, but then you shut it down again…
And I’ve been trying to make sense of it
Ever since we talked again.
(Verse 3)
Crazy how a familiar face can feel brand-new,
How the girl I joked with as a kid became someone I could lose.
And maybe you got scared of where this road could bend,
Maybe you pulled back ‘cause you didn’t wanna lose your friend.
(Pre-Chorus)
But every time you look my way,
I feel something you’re scared to say…
(Chorus)
’Cause it only hit me when we talked again,
All the sparks, all the want, all the “what if then?”
You said you felt something too, then shut the door again,
Left me hanging in the space between lovers and friends.
And I’ve been trying to hold my heart together since then…
Ever since we talked again.
(Bridge)
I don’t blame you for the distance,
Love like this comes with resistance.
But I swear you’re the start of something I didn’t know I’d been missin’…
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, it hit me when we talked again,
How the right person can walk back in.
You’re the one I never saw coming back then,
But the one I keep falling for again and again.
Even if you never cross that line I’m standing in…
I’ll remember the way my heart woke up
When we talked again.
