Library Lights

Verse 1 Corner table, second floor, Campus quiet, 2 a.m. You’re in your oversized sweater Tracing poems along the hem. Coffee going cold beside you, Highlighters and tired eyes, You laugh when I say you’re perfect, Like you don’t see what I see in mine. Pre-Chorus You’re small and sweet in a world that moves too fast, Pink skies fading through the library glass. If this is young love, let it last— Don’t break my heart, don’t let it crash. Chorus Don’t break my heart, you’re my future in disguise, Late-night talks and sleepy eyes. If forever’s just a word we use, I wanna learn it next to you. Hold me close in the winter weather, Promise we’ll grow up together. Don’t break my heart, it’s yours to keep— My little dream in a hoodie and jeans. Verse 2 Sidewalks shining after rainfall, Neon bleeding in the street, You tuck your hands inside my jacket When the cold gets to your cheeks. You talk about your graduation, Big city lights and bigger plans, I say, “Just save a little space For me to hold your hand.” Pre-Chorus You’re nervous ’bout the years ahead, I’m scared of things we never said. But every time you rest your head, It feels like home instead. Chorus Don’t break my heart, you’re my future in disguise, All my maybes in your eyes. If forever’s just a reckless move, I’ll take that chance with you. Through the stormy kinds of weather, We’ll find our way together. Don’t break my heart, it’s yours to keep— My little promise I can’t unsee. Bridge If the world gets loud and you forget How beautiful you are, I’ll write it down in every song, Play it soft on your guitar. When doubt comes knocking at your door, And you’re not sure what for— Remember all those 2 a.m.’s We swore we’d be something more. Soft Chorus Don’t break my heart… You’re my future in disguise. Every sunrise in your smile, Every home in your eyes. Outro So stay a while in this sweater weather, Campus lights and us together. Small and sweet, but strong enough— Don’t break my heart, my quiet love.
