Lyrics
Verse 1
I was a kid with lightning in my veins,
Running wild through my own mistakes,
Low exam scores, a rebel heart,
An ungrateful brat playing the part.
Didn’t hear the whispers down the hall,
Didn’t know I made some people fall,
Didn’t see the hurt behind their eyes,
Just a boy in his own disguise.
Pre-Chorus
Then teenage years came crashing in,
Same old story, different skin,
Till I felt the weight of what I’d done,
Heard the silence louder than a gun.
Chorus
So I changed, I changed, I built a better me,
Brick by brick so they could see,
I was more than my mistakes.
Found a love, then watched it break,
Lost my smile I fought to make—
But then I saw you standing there,
In that rundown classroom air…
And my whole world rearranged.
Verse 2
Barely standing desks and broken floors,
First week you were keeping score,
Second week you said “hey” so light,
And my heart forgot how to fight.
Three months passed like a summer breeze,
I let you go too easily,
Called it just a stupid crush—
But your name stayed in every hush.
Pre-Chorus 2
Tried to move on, tried to pretend,
Found another, met my end,
Played like strings in someone’s hands,
Alone again with what-ifs and.
Chorus
What if I had reached for you?
What if you had wanted me too?
Would we be under different skies?
Would I still see you in my mind?
Then time pulled us back somehow,
You walked in and here and now—
I felt that spark ignite again.
Bridge
You weren’t just the serious girl,
Top of the class, in control of your world,
You were scared, you were unsure,
Hiding behind a heart so pure.
And I was falling harder than before,
Obsessed with every little flaw,
The way you talked about your days,
Sports and dreams and wedding rings you’d say.
When you scolded me ‘bout my grades,
Like a mom in love disguised in rage,
I saw how much you truly cared—
And I swore I’d meet you there.
Soft Breakdown
So I let go of the reckless nights,
Chasing shadows, chasing fights,
Just to be the man you see,
The one you always believed in me.
Final Chorus
Now I just wanna pull you close,
Lay in fields where the wild grass grows,
Trace the stars with your hand in mine,
Make up constellations in the sky.
Baby, I’d love you decades long,
Centuries strong, eons on,
Even when the world moves on and on—
You’ll still be my favorite song.
Outro
From a reckless kid to who I am,
Every broken piece led me to your hand.
And if forever’s real and true—
I’ll spend every lifetime loving you.
I was a kid with lightning in my veins,
Running wild through my own mistakes,
Low exam scores, a rebel heart,
An ungrateful brat playing the part.
Didn’t hear the whispers down the hall,
Didn’t know I made some people fall,
Didn’t see the hurt behind their eyes,
Just a boy in his own disguise.
