Varsity Crush

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 opposite ends of the room

But 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’d swear I’d come with you if you just let me know

And this 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 #1 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 #1 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 goin’

There’s no time for second-guessing

And then we stop

And you’re right here

Heart stuck

Jaw drops

And I’m losing my, losing my, losing my mind

Tryna figure out what you’re gonna say this time

Then to my surprise…

“Can I meet you on the staircase? Anytime 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
