Patrick In The Back Row

[Verse 1]
It was Ollie’s idea
“Come sit with us in the back”
You were laughing at something
I forgot how to act
You said my name kind of sideways
Like you’d heard it before
I played it cool
But my heartbeat
Was running through the floor
[Chorus]
Patrick
I met you by accident
But it feels like the plan I never knew I had
Ollie kept talking
I barely heard a word
Just watching you talk with your hands
And I was gone so bad
Patrick
Now every little thing makes sense
From that first dumb joke in the back row
Ollie lit the match
Didn’t know what he’d start
Now I’ve got your name written all over my heart
[Verse 2]
You were sharing your earbud
Ollie leaning between
I was laughing at nothing
Just to stay in the scene
You asked if I was walking
I said “yeah
” just to stay
Three of us down the sidewalk
But my mind miles away
[Chorus]
Patrick
I met you by accident
But it feels like the plan I never knew I had
Ollie kept talking
I barely heard a word
Just watching you talk with your hands
And I was gone so bad
Patrick
Now every little thing makes sense
From that first dumb joke in the back row
Ollie lit the match
Didn’t know what he’d start
Now I’ve got your name written all over my heart
[Bridge]
Does he see it when I look at you? (oh)
Ollie smiling like he always knew
Three shadows on the pavement
Only one in my head
If I ever get to tell you
I’ll start right where we met
[Chorus]
Patrick
I met you by accident
But it feels like the plan I never knew I had
Ollie kept talking
I barely heard a word
Just watching you talk with your hands
And I was gone so bad
Patrick
Now every little thing makes sense
From that first dumb joke in the back row
Ollie lit the match
Didn’t know what he’d start
Now I’ve got your name written all over my heart
