[Verse 1]
You walked in late
Spilled your drink
Laughed at your fate
I tried not to stare
But you waved like we already shared a secret there
[Pre-Chorus]
We kept saying “sorry”
Then we both said it again
Awkward turned to funny
Like the scene was ours to bend
[Chorus]
That’s how we became friends
Tripping into something we didn’t plan
“Hi
I’m…” turned to “where’ve you been?”
Talking like we’d always understand
From strangers at the edge
To sitting in the middle
Hand in hand (hey!)
One small hello that never ends
That’s how we became friends
[Verse 2]
You stole my fries
Said you’re helping with my “diet life”
I rolled my eyes
But you were already saving memes I’d like
[Pre-Chorus]
Walks home after classes
Sharing dreams like they’re snacks
Said
“If the world collapses
Promise you’ll still text me back”
[Chorus]
That’s how we became friends
Tripping into something we didn’t plan
“Hi
I’m…” turned to “where’ve you been?”
Talking like we’d always understand
From strangers at the edge
To laughing in the middle
Can’t pretend (oh yeah)
One small hello that never ends
That’s how we became friends
[Bridge]
[beat drops
Half-time groove]
Late-night calls
You in pajamas
Messy hair
Silent pauses
But it felt safe hanging there
[beat builds back]
Every “are you okay?”
Every “tell me everything”
Stitched the days
Into something bright and never-ending
[Chorus]
That’s how we became friends
Tripping into something we didn’t plan
“Hi
I’m…” turned to “where’ve you been?”
Now you’re in every stupid plan I make
From strangers at the edge
To family I found around the bend (hey!)
One small hello that never ends
That’s how we became
That’s how we became friends
