[Verse 1] She sat by the window Chewing on her pen He kicked at the gravel Walked past her house again Two backpacks, same school bus He waved, then looked away He knew, she knew But neither found the words to say [Chorus] From shy kids to true love Took the long, long way around Little glances on the playground Now this heart is settled down We were just two scared hearts Growing slow, growing up Now your hand fits in mine From shy kids to true love [Verse 2] She wrote his name in margins He practiced saying “hi” Her voice got lost in hallway noise His courage passed him by [low vocal register]Years turned like the pages[/low vocal register] Caps and gowns, we said goodbye Thought it was a chapter closed But you never left my mind [Chorus] [Bridge] [soft female vocals]Met you at that café Same blue eyes, a little tired[/soft female vocals] [male vocals]You laughed like we were children Set my quiet heart on fire[/male vocals] Now it’s dinners, bills, and mornings Yet your smile still makes me blush Every promise that we whispered Grew from that first little crush [Chorus]
