Lyric

You were sunlight in the hallway

Tangled hair, 7AM

Your laughter always stole my breath

Like summer stuck on my skin

I’d fold little paper stars

Write your name on every one

Dreamed of telling you someday

But that someday never comes

I kept my feelings quiet

Hiding sparks behind my smile

Thought you’d see right through me

But I stayed a friend awhile

I still fall

Every time you say my name

It feels small

But my heart still beats the same

If we change

Would we lose what made us real?

I stay still—

Just to keep the way we feel

Yeah

Met you in a moment

Nothing felt the same

We were scribblin’ our futures

On a window in the rain

I was dreamin’ of a story

Where you’d fall into my arms

But your eyes were chasing someone

I could never ever charm

Tried to play it cool

While you talked about his smile

I nodded like I meant it

Though I broke a thousand times

Every message that you sent me

Hit me deeper than you knew

Wish you read between the lines

‘Cause every word said “I want you”

Walking home in silence

Both our shadows growing thin

Wished the streetlights could just

Pull your hands into my hands

Thought someday you’d face me

Say you felt the same way too

But love is wild and quiet

And it never told the truth

I kept my heart wide open

Just enough to let you in

But not enough to lose you

So I stayed close as a friend

I still fall

Every time you say my name

It feels small

But my heart still beats the same

If we change

Would we lose what made us real?

I stay still—

Just to keep the way we feel

Even if we never touch

Even if we drift apart

My heart keeps a quiet place

Where you glow like paper stars

I still fall

Though the world keeps moving fast

Wish I’d said

What I felt back in the past

If someday

You look back and feel it too

I’ll be here

Still in love, and still with you
