Lyrics
[Verse 1]
May thirteenth, a little after nine
I saw a book girl and I took my shot that night
“How’s it going? We can skip the small talk—
Tell me what you’re reading, tell me who you are”
You said Wuthering Heights and Stephen King
I said eight hundred sixty-four books and counting
You told Amanda, “I’m already in love”
One question opened everything up
[Pre-Chorus]
Dune on your shelf, Luffy in your soul
You laughed and said we might be best friends
I gave you my number, said, “Let’s see where this goes”
Neither one of us knew where it would end
[Chorus]
We skipped the small talk, fell into forever
Two crowded bookshelves fitting together
From words on a screen to your clothes in my room
From “What are you reading?” to “I’m marrying you”
You were the book girl I’d waited to find
I was the man who showed up at the right time
We said, “Let’s see where this goes” that night
Baby, look at us—building a life
[Verse 2]
You said, “Wanna do karate in the garage?”
Three in the morning, already dropping our guards
You told me about your two, I told you about mine
Some made from blood, all family by choice and time
You said your weeks were practices and games
I told you every one of my children’s names
Before we ever stood there face-to-face
We were making room in each other’s space
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Time and place,” I said I’d make you smile
Hazel eyes and reading glasses drove me wild
Amanda earned those tanning-bed visits for life
For introducing Beauty to the rest of mine
[Chorus]
We skipped the small talk, fell into forever
Two crowded families learning together
From words on a screen to your hand inside mine
From “I think we’re best friends” to sharing a life
You were the book girl I’d waited to find
I was the man who showed up at the right time
We said, “Let’s see where this goes” that night
Baby, look at us—building a life
[Bridge]
Now there are books in every corner
Kids running through this home
Matching ink beneath our skin
And no one fights alone
We’ve had pages stained with tears
And chapters that got hard
But even when we lose our place
I still know where we are
You’re still the woman who couldn’t stop smiling
I’m still the man trying to see it in person
Still flirting like that first night
Still choosing you when the words don’t come out right
[Final Chorus]
We skipped the small talk, walked into forever
Two wounded hearts getting stronger together
From a message in May to a home full of noise
Your girl and your boy, my girls and my boys
You’re still the book girl I waited to find
Still my Beauty, my best friend, my wild side
We said, “Let’s see where this goes” that night
Baby, look at us—this is our life
[Outro]
“How’s it going?
We can skip the small talk—
Tell me what you’re reading…”
One little question
One hundred eleven days
And the rest of our story
Still waiting on the page
