All These Boys Are Younger

[Verse 1]
New shoes on the hallway floor
ID card hanging
First day
Unsure
You laugh
Drop your books
Say my name
And suddenly the lockers glow the same

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re running late to class again (again)
Sharing earphones
Secret friends (shh)
You trace a heart on the window glass
Promise me this year goes slow
Not fast

[Chorus]
All these boys are younger
But my heart feels older with you
Sitting on the rooftop
Dreaming ’bout a future in blue
Bubblegum and textbooks
You turn every Monday brand new
All these boys are younger
But this young love
It feels true

[Verse 2]
Practice after school
Gym lights low
Sweat and laughter
We move in time
Just so
You wait at the door
Jersey in your hand
Say
“Wear this
You’re my lucky charm in the stands” (hey!)

[Pre-Chorus]
We share a soda
Same red straw
Your fingers brush mine
I forget it all
Seven voices echo down the street
But I only hear your heartbeat beat

[Chorus]
All these boys are younger
But my heart feels older with you
Sitting on the rooftop
Dreaming ’bout a future in blue
Bubblegum and textbooks
You turn every Monday brand new
All these boys are younger
But this young love
It feels true

[Bridge]
Graduation feels like it’s close
Too close
Caps in the sky and we’re holding hopes
You say
“Whatever comes
I’ll stay right here”
Your calm voice turning down my fear (so clear)

[Chorus]
All these boys are younger
But my heart feels older with you
Sitting on the rooftop
Dreaming ’bout a future in blue
Bubblegum and textbooks
You turn every Monday brand new
All these boys are younger
But this young love
It feels true

[Outro]
Walk me past the school gate
Slow
Every step saying “don’t let go”
Seven hearts in one small town view
All these boys are younger
But I’ll grow up next to you (oh)
