In my notebook, a secret I keep
'Bout a quiet boy who runs so fast and deep
A neon skull on the folder he owns
A universe of tastes he's never shown
He's got these anthems of fighting and doubt
He's a sports king, then he's zoning out
And I'm just a ghost in this crowded hallway
Terrified you'll see me looking your way
And my crew's in my corner, they say: Just be brave
They've got my back, they're the best that I have
But I see you coming and I lose my nerve
And I say hey there to a friend I don't deserve
To steal the greeting that was meant for you
Another failed mission, what else is new?
I had the perfect line, a brilliant design
'Bout a silver treasure that was never mine
But then, in the chaos, a glitch in the day
From a classroom doorway, a world away
You're looking right at me, a silent command
And suddenly, I start to understand
And all of the noise just begins to fade
The doubts and the drama, the games being played
I'm decoding the message you're sending to me
In a language that only my heart can see
I hear the rumors, I'm not the only one
And someone who hates me tries to spoil the fun
But my loyal crew, they won't let me fall
They're ready for battle, standing up tall
And then a teacher, a twist in the plot
Gives me a mission, right there on the spot
You're the expert: She says with a smile: You're the guide
Now I have a reason to stand by your side
And I know this morning was clumsy and weird
My hello was a ghost that just disappeared
But you fought your own panic, I saw the campaign
And you waved your hand, washing away the rain
It took you three tries, a victory sign
A battle was won in that shy heart of yours
And I know that your silence, it wasn't a line
It's just who you are behind closed doors
And then, in the chaos, a glitch in the day
From a classroom doorway, a world away
You're looking right at me, a silent command
And suddenly, I start to understand
And all of the noise just begins to fade
The doubts and the drama, the games being played
I'm decoding the message you're sending to me
In a language that only my heart can see
No more excuses, no treasures to find
Just this shared desk where our two worlds aligned
I'm the master of grammar, you're the king of the game
And together we're learning to whisper a name
And this body I'm in, with its flaws and its grace
Feels stronger and brighter and right in its place
'Cause I saw in the geometry of your glance
That you're not looking for perfect, just giving a chance
(Outro, Final Chorus)
And now, sitting here in this new constellation
Just inches away from my sweet hesitation
I'm solving the puzzle, the great equation
Your fixed little stare is my confirmation
And all of the noise has been silenced and cleared
No more self-doubt, all the static has gone
That wave of your hand is the proof I revered
My next hello will welcome the dawn
