[Verse 1]
Met you through a friend, I ain’t plan this
You were laughing in the back, I was anxious
Said your name once, it just stayed in my brain
Whole world got small, it was framed by your face
Summer air thick, we were kids tryna play grown
Walked to that park, took the long way home
White gazebo where we sat, sharing one phone
You stole my hoodie, said, “I’m cold,” I was gone
[Chorus]
White gazebo, where it all began
Thirteen years later, I’m still your man (in my head)
We been up, we been down, we been let go
But my heart still lives in that white gazebo
On and off, yeah, we crash, then we heal slow
Every time I fall, it’s your name that I breathe though
You the love of my life, that’s the keynote
Everything comes back to that white gazebo (yeah)
[Verse 2]
We were on, we were off like a streetlamp
Still kept your pics in my old cam
Different cities, different beds, still the same flame
Tried to date, but it all felt plain
You’d call late, say you hate how we cycle
I’d say fate got a way, we just rivals
Then you laughed through the tears, said, “You mine though”
I said, “Say that again,” hit rewind slow
Met new people, still compared ‘em to you
Every first date felt like déjà vu
‘Cause they ain’t know the kid I was in that park
They ain’t seen you hold my fear in the dark
[Chorus]
White gazebo, where it all began
Thirteen years later, I’m still your man (in my soul)
We been up, we been down, we been let go
But my heart still lives in that white gazebo
On and off, yeah, we crash, then we heal slow
Every time I fall, it’s your name that I breathe though
You the love of my life, that’s the keynote
Everything comes back to that white gazebo
[Bridge]
What if we meet there one more time?
No phones, no pride, just you and I
Sit where we started, clear the smoke
Kiss you once and break this joke (yeah)
[Chorus]
White gazebo, where it all began
Thirteen years later, I’m still your man (for real)
We been up, we been down, we been let go
But my heart still lives in that white gazebo
On and off, but my love never changed though
If forever got a place, that’s the angle
You the love of my life, that’s the keynote
Everything comes back to that white gazebo
