Texting from the Heart
(Verse 1)
I was sittin' on my porch, sun settin' low,
Got a message on my phone, didnât know where to go,
âHey, you donât know me, but I like you,â it read,
My heart raced for a moment, then I shook my head.
(Chorus)
But I need my freedom, not a heart to mend,
Sometimes love can wait, we're better as friends,
Late-night talks and laughter, under starry skies,
Youâre the voice of reason, in a world of goodbyes.
(Verse 2)
We started talkinâ daily, like sweet summertime,
Youâd send me silly memes, Iâd laugh every time,
Shared our favorite songs, I with my country tunes,
Youâd play your old guitar, underneath the moons.
(Chorus)
But I need my freedom, not a heart to mend,
Sometimes love can wait, we're better as friends,
Late-night talks and laughter, under starry skies,
Youâre the voice of reason, in a world of goodbyes.
(Verse 3)
You wanted girl advice, for that girl in your class,
Weâd sit with coffee cups, as the hours would pass,
Iâd tell you just be patient, let your heart lead the way,
Youâd smile and nod, like youâd found what to say.
(Bridge)
But as seasons changed, I could feel the shift,
Our friendship blossomed, like the sweetest gift,
Youâd catch me when Iâd stumble, never let me fall,
In this precious bond, I found it all.
(Chorus)
But I need my freedom, not a heart to mend,
Sometimes love can wait, we're better as friends,
Late-night talks and laughter, under starry skies,
Youâre the voice of reason, in a world of goodbyes.
(Outro)
So hereâs to the texts, that started it all,
From a stranger to a friend, youâve been my support call,
In a world so crazy, youâre my solid ground,
With your heart in my pocket, I know Iâm safe and sound.
