[Intro]
Soft hallway light, lockers hum a gentle tune
Clock ticks like a heartbeat in a quiet afternoon
[Verse 1]
I watch you pass the cafeteria line, eyes on hers
The way you laugh, it stirs a storm I never learned
In the corner table, shadows trace your smile
I’m holding onto a maybe, waiting for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I knew the parts we played, the scripts we'd say
But seeing you together rewrites words I couldn’t pray
[Chorus]
If love is a whisper between classroom walls, I hear you there
In every chalk-drawn line, I feel you everywhere
My heart keeps steady, though it trembles in the hall
Loving you from a distance, tender, small, and all
[Verse 2]
I pretend to study, but my thoughts begin to roam
To the moment you looked at me and I felt less alone
The bell rings soft, but time slows down for us to see
How different life could be if you were meant for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the steps between the desk and your silence grace
Wish I could tell you truth without fear on my face
[Chorus]
If love is a whisper between classroom walls, I hear you there
In every chalk-drawn line, I feel you everywhere
My heart keeps steady, though it trembles in the hall
Loving you from a distance, tender, small, and all
[Bridge]
Maybe someday the hallways tell our names in the sun
Maybe we’ll find a moment where the counting’s done
Until then I’ll cradle quiet feelings, kind and true
Holding space for what remains, for me and for you
[Chorus]
If love is a whisper between classroom walls, I hear you there
In every chalk-drawn line, I feel you everywhere
My heart keeps steady, though it trembles in the hall
Loving you from a distance, tender, small, and all
[Outro]
The school day ends, but the longing softly glows
A tender ache I carry as the corridor grows
