In 7th grade we met
going to an honor band
I was curious 'bout your instrument
never seen an oboe up close before, it was the neatest thing
huggin' in the hallways
every time we met, which was a lot
little 8th grade buddy, big 7th grade friend!

Chorus:
hey, girl, I got one thing to tell you
it's really eatin' me up
it's somthin' you're afraid of
and I know it could hurt us both
you're my BFF but...
I just can't say

then you were a freshman
I never saw you anymore
I was stuck in the middle school
I wanted to see you but I had to wait for summer band
you had a few boy issues
you also grew a bit, you came up to my shoulder!
I realized you were my bestest friend!

Chorus:

finally it was my turn
I got to go to high school
real marching band, Perry and State
havin' a blast making friends trying new things, new instruments
now I was the one with issues
you helped me through them
I think I started wanting somethin' else

Chorus:

then we went to band camp
driving down to Missouri
wind ensemble, jazz band, improv class
I realized I was better than I thought on tenor sax
I met an awesome guy
I was ecstatically happy
to the point where I rubbed on your nerves

Chorus:

not even three months later
he broke up with me
you were there, my shoulder to lean on
you know, I could feel exactly which part of my heart he ripped out
just one month later
I'm writing this song for you
I dunno if I want to say it
but I guess I should, cuz I know I won't otherwise

I think I'm falling in love with you
don't know when it started
I just know that I want you to be mine
you're somthin' special
you're unique
but just know this
if it doesn't work out, I'll still love you
you've got a place in my heart
there, I've said it, it's out for you to see
but it doesn't change a thing
...........
I'm in love with you
