Red Ribbon”
Verse 1
It was my birthday, first day of high school halls
You saw me standing there against those locker walls
A red ribbon in my hair, khaki skirt swaying slow
Funny how one small moment turned into all we know
After school together, just kids passing time
Laughing through the hard days, learning how to shine
Best friends through the chaos, through every passing year
Never knew forever was already standing near
Pre-Chorus
Life pulled us apart for a little while
But somehow love still carried every mile
Chorus
We met under Friday lights and teenage skies
Two young hearts growing up before our eyes
Long walks through the park, talking till the dark
Fishing by the water, leaving little marks
Hot Chocolate and coffee at IHOP after work
Falling more in love with every little quirk
First kiss in the rain, first date bowling lanes
And after all this time, my heart still says your name
Verse 2
We’d meet up at the parks just to talk for hours long
You became my safe place when the whole world felt wrong
No fancy kind of love, just simple and real
The kind that sneaks up slowly and teaches you to heal
I can still remember the way you looked at me
Like somehow in this lifetime I was all you’d ever need
From high school halls to holding hands through life’s unknown
Every road I’ve traveled somehow led me home
Pre-Chorus
Some stories fade away with passing time
But ours keeps getting better line by line
Chorus
We met under Friday lights and teenage skies
Two young hearts growing up before our eyes
Long walks through the park, talking till the dark
Fishing by the water, leaving little marks
Hot Chocolate and coffee at IHOP after work
Falling more in love with every little quirk
First kiss in the rain, first date bowling lanes
And after all this time, my heart still says your name
Bridge
A red ribbon started everything
Now you’re my forever, my always, my wing
Through every season, every road we roam
You were my first love… and my home
Final Chorus
We met on my birthday, first day of high school
Never thought young hearts could break every rule
From best friends to soulmates, from dreamers into us
Built a life together out of love and trust
Hot Chocolate and coffee, and memories that stay
Still falling for you more every single day
And if I had one wish, I’d do it all the same
Just to meet that boy… who remembered my red ribbon.
