Crush

Saw you standing by the arcade light

Lost my words on a Friday night

Everybody else looked cool somehow

I just stared and forgot how

To be normal

Saw you looking then you looked away

Doing that almost every day

You were cute when you got nervous

Guess you never noticed

Oh no

Here we go

Everybody knows

Except us

You were my first crush

My first “what if”

My first stupid song

I couldn’t quit

You were the reason

I stayed up late

Writing your name

On everything

Maybe it’s dumb

Maybe it’s fate

Maybe we were always gonna end this way

Learned guitar just to look more cool

Still looked like a total fool

Played the same three chords for months

Hoping you would hear one once

Heard them all from my bedroom wall

Honestly, they weren’t bad at all

Told my friends I’d marry you

Back when we were seventeen and clueless too

Oh no

There we go

Now everybody knows

You were my first crush

My first “what if”

My first stupid song

I couldn’t quit

You were the reason

I stayed up late

Writing your name

On everything

Maybe it’s dumb

Maybe it’s fate

Maybe we were always gonna end this way

I thought you wanted somebody cooler

I thought you wanted somebody else

Funny how we spent all that time

Scared of asking for ourselves

You were my first crush

My first mistake

The best thing

I was too scared to say

You were the reason

The reason I stayed

And every dumb song

Still sounds the same

Maybe it’s dumb

Maybe it’s fate

Maybe we were always gonna end this way
