Hey baby, I’ve been thinking ’bout you
Every moment since January 17th
I replay that day like a favorite song
It makes me smile, even when you’re gone
When I see you in the hallway at school
It’s like the world slows down, just me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the crowd surrounds you and I’m not there
I feel invisible in the cold air
[Chorus]
Hey baby, I just wanna say…
I hope you’re having a nice time with your friends today
I don’t know if you like them — or even me
But I want you to know, I’ll always be
Right here, even if I’m out of sight
I won’t leave your side, not day or night
[Verse 2]
I’ve been holding on to these lovely times
But even lovely things can twist the mind
It makes me happy just to see you smile
Even if I hurt inside the whole while
Yeah, I sit and think about you for ages
Writing your name on unwritten pages
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the laughter isn’t meant for me
It cuts a little deeper than it used to be
[Chorus]
Hey baby, I just wanna say…
I hope you’re having a nice time with your friends today
I don’t know if you like them — or even me
But I want you to know, I’ll always be
Right here, even if I’m out of sight
I won’t leave your side, not day or night
[Bridge]
On these weekends, I sit down and wanna call you
(You…)
But I know you won’t answer
You’ll be out with friends, maybe feeling lighter
And that won’t make it any easier
For me to reach out, to feel less unheard
When all I want is just to hear your voice
Even if I’m not your first choice
But anyway… I hope you’re okay
[Final Chorus]
Hey baby, I just wanna say…
I hope you’re laughing and feeling safe today
Even if you never look my way
I’ll keep standing in the quiet gray
I won’t leave you, not anytime
Even through these lonely times
[Outro]
Lonely times, lonely times
But loving you still feels like mine
Start & end — you’re my line.
