Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You walked in Name tag crooked Laughing at a joke I never heard Borrowed pens Coffee stained hoodie You took up all the air in the room [Chorus] I met a boy and I fell in love And he never knew He never knew Wrote your letter on the back of my hand Til the ink ran blue The ink ran through Every heartbeat spelled your name like a secret Just the letter Z Only that much truth I met a boy and I fell in love And he never knew (never knew) [Verse 2] Shared your notes I shared my headphones You never saw me stealing little looks Walked you home To the subway turnstile You waved I stayed Rehearsing what to say [Chorus] I met a boy and I fell in love And he never knew He never knew Traced that letter at the edge of my page Til the lines turned you Turned into you Every heartbeat spelled your name like a secret Just the letter Z Only that much truth I met a boy and I fell in love And you never knew (never knew) [Bridge] Will you ever read All the words I folded Into quiet glances Half–smiled jokes If I ever say it Will it all fall open Or stay the sweetest story never told [Chorus] I met a boy and I fell in love And he never knew He never knew In every margin Every midnight wish I was calling you Just calling you Every heartbeat spelled your name like a secret Just the letter Z Only that much truth I met a boy and I fell in love And you never knew (ooh, you never knew)

Minimal indie-pop ballad with intimate female vocals, close-mic’d acoustic guitar, soft pads under the chorus. Verse stays hushed and confessional; chorus blooms with airy harmonies and subtle percussion swells. Bridge strips back to almost whisper-level before a final, warm chorus lift.
