note in my locker

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
