[Verse 1]
Saw you in history class, head down low
Doodling stars in the margin, whoa
You passed me by in the hallway rush
Heart skipped a beat, tried to play it hush
We don’t talk, not really at all
But I know your laugh from down the hall
You smile like the world don’t weigh you down
I smile too, but only when you’re not around
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell my friends it’s nothing
But they know it’s something
Got your name in hearts
On the edge of my math chart
[Chorus]
It’s young love, feels like forever
Even if we don’t say a word together
I write your name in a secret note
Folded up tight in my coat
You don’t see me, not like that
But I’m dreaming in the back of class
Maybe someday, you’ll look back
And know I loved you from way back
[Verse 2]
Lunch table chatter, eyes meet quick
You’re laughing, I’m turning red so slick
You don’t know how much I care
Wishing you’d notice I’m even there
I wait by my locker just to pretend
Like it’s coincidence we pass again
You’ve got your friends, I’ve got mine
But I keep wishing your hand was in mine
[Pre-Chorus]
They say it’s just a phase
But my heart feels stuck this way
I’m fourteen, but it feels like fate
Standing outside history late
[Chorus]
It’s young love, feels like forever
Even if we don’t say a word together
I write your name in a secret note
Folded up tight in my coat
You don’t see me, not like that
But I’m dreaming in the back of class
Maybe someday, you’ll look back
And know I loved you from way back
[Bridge]
Maybe one day, you’ll find that note
Tucked in a book or your winter coat
And smile at how we used to be
Me loving you so quietly
[Final Chorus]
It’s young love, soft and shy
Written in hearts I can’t deny
You were the boy I hoped would see
The girl who loved you silently
Maybe you’ll laugh, maybe you’ll care
Maybe you’ll wish you’d noticed me there
But even if you never knew
This song was always about you
