Verse 1 Three weeks in and the world felt different, Like the air had learned my name, Like every plan I used to chase Was suddenly rearranged. We were still new, still learning edges, Still laughing at the speed— But my heart was already packing For the life we hadn’t seen. Pre-Chorus And you said, “You should meet my parents,” Like it was simple, like it was true— And I felt my future take one step Closer to you. Chorus Sacramento in two weeks, A new city, a new door, Me trying to look like a man I hadn’t fully been before. I had butterflies and courage In the same old worn-out jeans— ’Cause when you said “meet my people,” It sounded like forever In two weeks. Verse 2 You’d already met my family easy— My house made introductions for me, Familiar faces in familiar rooms, A life still half on training wheels. But this was different—this was grown-up, This was respect and sacred ground, Me walking into your story Hoping I wouldn’t let you down. Pre-Chorus 2 I practiced handshakes in my head, I prayed my voice would stay steady, And every mile I pictured driving Made me feel… ready. Chorus Sacramento in two weeks, A new city, a new door, Me trying to look like a man I hadn’t fully been before. I had butterflies and courage In the same old worn-out jeans— ’Cause when you said “meet my people,” It sounded like forever In two weeks. Bridge Some love moves like a slow sunrise, Some love hits like a train— Ours was both: a gentle warmth And a sudden kind of flame. And I didn’t want to borrow your future, Didn’t want to take it on a chance— So I held the fear in one hand And in the other… I held my stance. Final Chorus Sacramento in two weeks, And I knew what it would mean— Not just a visit, not just a weekend, But stepping into something clean. I was nervous, yes—but certain, Like the road had been revealed— ’Cause when you said “meet my parents,” I heard my whole life answer, “I’m in.” Outro Two weeks… And I was all in.
