So I'm thinking you don't know me
In this story, as you do
But maybe you called my name once
'Cause you needed to
We were sitting on the opposite ends of the room
And all I could see was you
Stupid little haircut
Socks are hiding in your shoes
Strutting down the hallways
Like you think you're so cool
And it's the billionth time that I've seen you wanna go
But baby, I swear I'd come with you
If you just let me know
And it wasn't my intention
To let you win
But I guess it's worth the mention
If we could be more than this
I'll be your "meet you on the staircase"
If that's what you want
I'll be your "hiding in classrooms"
Hoping we don't get caught
I'll be your "trading of jackets"
Ones with your last name
I'll be your number one fan at your volleyball game
I'll be your after-school serenades
Before I ask you to the dance
I'll be the long list of letters you dared to read before class
And I'll tie up your hair
Way too gentle and sweet
And you'll turn around
'Cause you love my weak at the knees
Oh, if only
All my pining
Leads you to me
♪
Now we're passing notes through every break
Trying to ignore the way
You're giving me signs
Can't read between the lines
Is it just coincidence
That our eyes met before you left?
Or am I burning up too fast?
Am I dreaming, or will this last?
If only you would let me be your...
"Meet you on the staircase"
If that's what you want
I'll be your "hiding in classrooms"
Hoping we don't get caught
I'll be your "trading of jackets"
Ones with your last name
I'll be your number one fan at your volleyball game
I'll be your after-school serenades
Before I ask you to the dance
I'll be the long list of letters you dared to read before class
And I'll tie up your hair
Way too gentle and sweet
And you'll turn around
'Cause you love my weak at the knees
Oh, if only
All my pining
Am I crazy in love? Or when you said, "Hi"
Was it just me or did you wink at the same time?
And when you passed by our hands met, sly
But you did it again, I caught you this time
What do you want from me? As if we ever talk
Then one day, I see you in the hallway
Shocked and trembling
I wanna know what's wrong
We're getting closer in the moment
Suddenly, I'm frozen but you keep going
There's no time for second-guessing
Then we stop and you're right here
Heart stuck, jaw drops
And I'm losing, I'm losing, I'm losing my mind
Tryna figure out what you're gonna say this time
Then to my surprise
Can I meet you on the staircase?
Any time that you want
We can hide in my classroom
Just be ready to get caught
Let me trade you my jacket
So you can wear my last name
You better get yourself in the crowds
At my volleyball game
'Cause I'll be your after-school serenades
Before I ask you to the dance
I'll be the long list of letters
You dared to read before class
And I'll tie up your hair
Way too gentle and sweet
And you'll turn around
'Cause you love my weak at the knees
Oh, and slowly
All my pining
Oh, and slowly
Now you know me
