Passed your locker every day
Pretending I just lost my way
You were there with books in hand
I forgot how to even stand
Tie undone and sleeves rolled high
You caught me once, I said “hi”
Crush on the 2nd floor
Laugh I waited for
You didn’t know, but I rewrote
Every line of class notes
To rhyme with your name
Silly little flame
That lit my school-bound core
Crush on the 2nd floor
Pencil broke, you lent me yours
That moment opened secret doors
I drew our names inside my book
Too scared to let you take a look
You laughed too loud, I watched it all
From two desks back and half an inch tall
Crush on the 2nd floor
Smiles I hid it for
You never guessed, but I replayed
Every joke you ever made
A quiet kind of game
Soft and never lame
I never asked for more
Crush on the 2nd floor
Time moved on, so did we
But I still hum that melody
You once whistled by the sink
And I turned too red to think
Crush on the 2nd floor
Still plays in my drawer
You’re not mine and never were
But back then, you made me stir
A chapter I adore
A crush worth waiting for
My innocent folklore
Crush on the 2nd floor
