[Verse 1]
The library hums with late day glow
Her nerves are tangled, fear in tow
He is the regular who loves obscure lines
She takes a breath and asks him out, eyes shining slow
[Pre-Chorus]
If words were wings, this moment would fly
Two shy smiles skating toward the light
[Chorus]
Butterflies in the stacks, lighting up their eyes
Moving like deep house, slow and electrified
Two hearts checking out the same stanza side by side
A coffee date blooms from a brave, hopeful glide
[Verse 2]
They circle back to that cherished stanza they adore
Line by line, the library opens a little more
Laughter eases the tremble, urgency fades to friendship
In the margins, a promise to begin again
[Pre-Chorus]
The quiet room swells with a brighter sound
[Chorus]
Butterflies in the stacks, lighting up their eyes
Moving like deep house, slow and electrified
Two hearts checking out the same stanza side by side
A coffee date blooms from a brave, hopeful glide
[Bridge]
If fear is a chapter, courage turns the page
We walk past the desk into a new stage
Shelf by shelf, we rewrite what could be
In the hush, we find a symmetry
[Chorus]
Butterflies in the stacks, lighting up their eyes
Moving like deep house, slow and electrified
Two hearts checking out the same stanza side by side
A coffee date blooms from a brave, hopeful glide
[Outro]
Closing time fades as smiles stay bright
Two hearts checked out, stepping into the night
