[Intro]
Two hallway echoes, lockers sighing
A spark in the crowd, we kept quiet lying
[Verse 1]
We met in the hallways, backpacks and plans
Laughter like weather, rain on the windows and hands
Friends teased in whispers, “you two are a pair”
We shrugged and joked back, not sure if a love was there
[Pre-Chorus]
But every inside joke wore a truth we didn’t name
A little bit of color in a friendship frame
[Chorus]
If we pretend a little longer, maybe we’ll know
If the flame is just a spark or a fire we’ll grow
We laughed at the plan, then the plan took a turn
What started as a game, led us to burn
[Verse 2]
We played along, staged smiles and staged embrace
Filmed faux dates under moonlight in the same old place
The line got blurred, the jokes got heavier to bear
We felt the map redraw, suddenly you were there
[Pre-Chorus]
And truth slipped out in the corners of our eyes
A real confession beneath familiar skies
[Chorus]
If we pretend a little longer, maybe we’ll know
If the flame is just a spark or a fire we’ll grow
We laughed at the plan, then the plan took a turn
What started as a game, led us to burn
[Bridge]
From friends to more, the fearfully brave
What was rehearsed now feels like what we crave
No script, just us, no audience to please
Only the truth humming softly between you and me
[Chorus]
If we pretend a little longer, maybe we’ll know
But the truth sits brighter than any show
We dropped the joke, let the curtain fall apart
We found our ending in the beating of our hearts
[Outro]
From high school halls to a future’s sunrise
We chose together, no more disguises
