[Intro – gentle, nostalgic] Streetlamp glow on cracked concrete Old chalk lines where we used to meet [Verse 1 – quiet, reflective] We walked these blocks a thousand times Shared every scrap of silly rhymes I’d laugh at all your bad jokes, roll my eyes Never thought I’d see you this way [Chorus – tender, hesitant] Your smile hits me different now Late-night talks don’t feel the same I’m scared to break the thing we’ve had But my heart won’t stop this quiet riot [Verse 2 – soft, wondering] Last week we stayed up till the dawn Talked about the plans we’d drawn You said you hoped to find someone who gets you I sat there dying, wishing it was me with you. [Chorus – warm, yearning] Suddenly your laugh sounds sweeter than before I catch myself staring when you walk through the door I’m terrified to say the words I hide But every day this secret’s harder to hide. [Bridge – vulnerable, urgent] We built this world of trust and quiet ease But now my chest is tangled up in these New feelings I can’t push away Afraid one wrong word will make you stray [Chorus – hopeful, brave] Maybe we could turn these sidewalk stars Into something more than just our scars I don’t want to lose the best thing in my life But I can’t keep pretending I don’t want you as my wife [Final Chorus – soft, relieved] Tonight I’ll say the thing I’ve held inside Pray you’ll see me not just as your ride If you feel the same, we’ll light a brand new spark If not, I’ll still love you, my alone in the dark. [Outro – gentle, fading] Streetlamp glow on cracked concrete Waiting here for your reply to meet
