Verse 1)
Met her on a floor where the lights hit low,
Dance club heat, bodies movin’ slow.
She smiled like the stars had something to prove,
And my whole world shifted in one groove.
We laughed through the nights and chased the dawn,
Sang to Smash Mouth with the speakers on.
Six Flags screams and cotton candy skies,
Felt like love, but maybe that was just mine.
⸻
(Chorus)
Fifteen years and I’m still here,
Holdin’ onto hope, drownin’ in fear.
Every laugh, every look, every “maybe someday” —
All tied to a girl whose name starts with J.
She don’t see me like I see her glow,
But damn, if my heart ever let her go…
Fifteen years, and still, I stay —
In love with J.
⸻
(Verse 2)
We talk now and then, just like old friends,
She tells me her dreams, I just pretend.
Pretend it don’t burn, pretend I’m okay,
When she walks away at the end of the day.
She never knew that concert lit my soul,
Or how I prayed she’d dance with me ‘til we’re old.
Maybe timing’s wrong or fate missed the sign,
But I still wish her heart would someday be mine.
⸻
(Chorus)
Fifteen years and I’m still here,
Holdin’ onto hope, drownin’ in fear.
Every laugh, every look, every “maybe someday” —
All tied to a girl whose name starts with J.
She don’t see me like I see her glow,
But damn, if my heart ever let her go…
Fifteen years, and still, I stay —
In love with J.
⸻
(Bridge)
Maybe I’m a fool for hangin’ on,
To a love that might be long gone.
But some hearts don’t get to choose,
And mine keeps beating for her — win or lose.
⸻
(Final Chorus)
Fifteen years and the ache still grows,
She’ll never know all the things I chose —
To stay in her orbit, even when she drifts away,
Still tied to a girl whose name starts with J.
And if she never feels the same,
At least she danced with me that day.
Fifteen years… and always, J.
