How We Became Friends

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

We kept saying “sorry”

Then we both said it again

Awkward turned to funny

Like the scene was ours to bend

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

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

Walks home after classes

Sharing dreams like they’re snacks

Said

“If the world collapses

Promise you’ll still text me back”

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

[beat drops

Half-time groove]

Late-night calls

You in pajamas

Messy hair

Silent pauses

But it felt safe hanging there

Every “are you okay?”

Every “tell me everything”

Stitched the days

Into something bright and never-ending

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
