[Verse 1] I wore my quiet face In the corner by the stacks Pretending I was deep in books When you came running past Your sneakers kissed the floor Your laugh cut through the hall I kept my eyes on chapter names But I watched you through it all [Pre-Chorus] You spun that ball one-handed Like you owned the afternoon And my heart learned how to stumble Just by looking at you [Chorus] Library girl Trying not to stare Library girl Caught you everywhere Page by page, my secret grew I was reading, but I was reading you Library girl That was me for you [Verse 2] Years went by like loose-leaf notes Folded in a drawer Your jersey turned to memories Then you walked back through the door At the gym I heard my name Like a bell I knew by heart You said, “I’ve been looking for you” And the room went dark [Pre-Chorus] You smiled like you remembered Every little thing I hid All those silent afternoons You knew more than I did [Chorus] Library girl Trying not to stare Library girl Caught you everywhere Page by page, my secret grew I was reading, but I was reading you Library girl That was me for you [Bridge] Then you said, “Come with me tonight” With a shy boy grin “Prom’s got one open seat If you still want in” I looked down at my hands Then up into your eyes And every page I’d never turned All came back alive [Final Chorus] Library girl Now I know your name Library girl You’re still the same Page by page, my secret grew I was reading, but I was reading you Library girl And you read me too [Outro] A corsage on my wrist Your hand at the gym door Funny how a little crush Can lead to so much more
