The First Time I Saw Her

She walked in late

Laughing at something I couldn’t hear

Faded blue jacket

Ink on her hand and coffee on her sleeve

My friends kept talking

But every word just drifted off the screen

Like I’d been half-awake

And someone shook me from a half-lived dream

The first time I saw her

The room fell out of focus

My heart tripped over

Every tiny moment

Didn’t know her name

But I knew I’d remember

The first time I saw her

I started hoping for forever (oh)

She brushed her hair

Tucked it behind her ear and checked her phone

Light caught her face

Turned that crowded place to just us two alone

I said something dumb

She smiled like she already understood

One simple “hi”

Turned into “how did life feel good?”

The first time I saw her

The room fell out of focus

My heart tripped over

Every tiny moment

Didn’t know her name

But I knew I’d remember

The first time I saw her

I started hoping for forever

Now every little day

Keeps circling back to that night

If I had walked away

We’d be strangers passing by

But she caught my eye

And everything changed

The first time I saw her

The room fell out of focus

My heart tripped over

Every tiny moment

Didn’t know her name

But I knew I’d remember

The first time I saw her

I started hoping for forever

Yeah

The first time I saw her

Was the start of my forever (hey!)
