In the hallway, you tilted your head and asked me why
Then you smiled so softly, I just froze in that after-school light
I was driven by a love I had never known before
Counting sleepless nights, wanting something more
When I reached for you, you faded like a fleeting dream
Every time I woke, I lost you in reality
Ah, you were just a little older than me
Ah, you’ll be gone before I get to leave
I couldn’t find the words to say at all
Time just stopped… my first love
Passing by you in the hallway, I just looked away
All I did was watch your back as you walked away
They all said that you were trouble, a dangerous girl
But you just looked a little grown-up in this world
Even if I never knew what was really true
That smile I loved… I still believed in you
Ah, you were just a little older than me
Ah, you’ll be gone before I get to leave
I couldn’t find the words to say at all
Time just stopped… my first love

After School Light
1Tatsu
A nostalgic City Pop / AOR track inspired by the sound of the 1980s, capturing a fleeting memory of after school.
With its light, refreshing rhythm, shimmering piano, and clean cutting guitar, the song paints a clear and urban atmosphere.
At its core lies a bittersweet emotion a first love that was never fully spoken.
Feelings left unsaid to someone just a little older.
A quiet moment in a school hallway at dusk, where all that remained was to watch them walk away.
Like stepping back into an after-school scene from the 80s,
this track carries a sparkling yet melancholic tone.
"After School Light My First Love " gently brings back a memory of love, frozen in time.
