[Verse 1]
You were the light in every hallway
The smile they waited for each day
They called you perfect, loud and clear
And I just watched from the second row, too shy to interfere

[Pre-Chorus]
But then you turned around and said hello
Not just a wave — you said my name slow
And suddenly the world felt small
Like maybe I could matter after all

[Chorus]
We walked home once, under cherry skies
Heard the whispers, saw the stares, felt the butterflies
You laughed like we were something real
But nothing certain, nothing sealed
Still I replay it all the same
The time before we went our ways
And you…
You knew my name

[Verse 2]
Shared a desk in chemistry
Passed a note you folded just for me
You said I made you feel at ease
But I still wondered, “Was it just your way to please?”

[Pre-Chorus]
You were kind to everyone around
But I got lost in that one sound
My name, from lips that girls adored
A quiet echo I still store

[Chorus]
We walked home once, under cherry skies
Heard the whispers, saw the stares, felt the butterflies
You laughed like we were something real
But nothing certain, nothing sealed
Still I replay it all the same
The time before we went our ways
And you…
You knew my name

[Bridge]
Graduation caps in the air
You smiled at me like you were there
But nothing said, no line was crossed
Just almost-love, forever lost

[Final Chorus]
We never kissed, we never claimed
But I still blush when I hear your name
Maybe to you it meant much less
But to me, it was tenderness
Now time has taken all the fame
But I still smile through bittersweet rain
Because you…
You knew my name
