[Verse 1] When the echo of the bell fades away I run up the familiar stairs Though there’s no book I need to borrow I still end up here today Wrapped in the scent of old pages Golden sunset spills through the window You open a book of constellations And I search for your profile again ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The gentle sound of turning pages Melts into the quiet air Nothing has changed this afternoon Yet my heart is racing everywhere ⸻ [Chorus] After School Library I noticed you before the stars appeared Without a single word between us My heart keeps drawing near After School Library Soft light beyond the bookshelves glows I’m afraid you might hear my heartbeat So I look down with a hidden smile ⸻ [Verse 2] Today I gathered a little courage And sat across from you at last Pretending to read the same page Again and again it passed Then suddenly you looked up And our eyes met for a moment In the sunset-colored library Time seemed to stand still ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Even while following every word My thoughts wander far away Not only Orion fills my mind It’s you that stays all day ⸻ [Chorus] After School Library Listening to the sound of pages turn It feels like even my heartbeat Could echo through the room After School Library By the sunset-painted window Every time the golden light trembles My feelings grow a little more ⸻ [Bridge] More than learning every star’s name I want to know more about you The same time, the same place Tomorrow I’ll come back too ⸻ [Final Chorus] You and me and the library Beside you as you trace the stars I don’t even know your name yet But my heart already does You and me and the library Quiet moments drifting by I fall in love again today With the fingers turning pages You and me and the library Until the day I speak to you Among the scent of books and twilight A little love keeps growing
