[Verse 1] I spent an hour picking out my shoes And matching my notebook to my blues Walking down the hallway, heart beating fast Just praying that I’ll make it to my science class I saw you standing by the water fountain line You looked my way, and for a second, time aligned But then you laughed at a joke your best friend made And all my confidence started to fade [Verse 2] But then I look to my left and I see my crew Allie and Maurie, yeah, they always know what to do Side by side, we're always hanging around Texting in code, making the loudest sound From the school lockers to the kitchen floor They pull me along through every single door With a quick high-five and a secret sign They tell me I'm gonna be just fine [Pre-Chorus] Two blonde haired girls, matching sneakers, running down the hall Allie and Maurie help me stand up tall Thirteen years of growing up so fast Making these seventh grade memories last [Chorus] Oh, I’m just standing by Locker 916 Trying to act cool, trying not to look at you With my oversized hoodie Wishing you could see the girl underneath It’s a big, bad world in the seventh grade Where the boys are loud and the memories are made And I’m just trying to make it through Right here by Locker 916 [Verse 3] My momma says that one day I will see That middle school drama isn't everything it’s cracked up to be But she doesn’t know about the group chat text Or how we’re all stressing over what’s coming next Back in the summer before everything changed Before high school felt close and the seating charts got rearranged [Verse 4] Binge-watching shows until the night turns to day Allie and Maurie laugh my worries away They got their own language, their own little world The smartest, funniest, coolest girls We talk about the boys and we talk about the stress They tell me which outfit looks the absolute best Two peas in a pod, a perfect team Living out a thirteen-year-old dream [Chorus] Oh, I’m just standing by Locker 916 Trying to act cool, trying not to look at you With my oversized hoodie Wishing you could see the girl underneath It’s a big, bad world in the seventh grade Where the boys are loud and the memories are made And I’m just trying to make it through Right here by Locker 916 [Instrumental Break] (Energetic acoustic guitar solo) (Drums build up with handclaps) [Bridge] The warning bell rings, it’s a sudden rush of sound Everybody’s moving, slamming locker doors around we're out the door and it's Summer time..... [Guitar Solo / Banjo Build-up] (Driving rhythm, upbeat, joyful, and cinematic) [Chorus] Now I’m leaning on Locker 916 And I can’t stop smiling, yeah it’s all because of you Forget the oversized hoodie I think you finally saw the girl underneath! Yeah, it’s a crazy world in the seventh grade But a little bit of magic just got made And I’m gonna make it through Right here by Locker 916 [Outro] Yeah, Locker 916… With Allie and Maurie right next to me… Just a little bit of magic… (Laughter sound effect) (Fades out with sweet acoustic guitar strumming) [End]
