[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sunlight warm on the slide, chalk dust in the air
We were building castles, didn't have a care
You shared your juice box, sticky sweet and red
Told me secrets softly, resting your small head
On my shoulder lightly, watching clouds drift by
A silent understanding caught us by surprise
Felt it in the stillness, felt it in the game
Knowing each other's faces, whispering each other's name
[Chorus]
Oh, we found it young, before the world turned grey
A tiny spark that wouldn't fade away
My soulmate standing on the swing set next to mine
A perfect fit, a simple, sacred sign
Playground hearts, beating out of time
But somehow knowing you were always meant for mine
[Verse 2]
Shared our grazed knees and the monsters in the dark
Held hands through the hallway, left our matching mark
Pinky promises sworn beneath the old oak tree
Building futures wildly, just you and silly me
Through awkward growing phases, braces catching light
You were my safe harbor, making everything feel right
Even childish squabbles couldn't break the thread
A constant hum beneath the noise, everything you said
[Chorus]
Oh, we found it young, before the world turned grey
A tiny spark that wouldn't fade away
My soulmate standing on the swing set next to mine
A perfect fit, a simple, sacred sign
Playground hearts, beating out of time
But somehow knowing you were always meant for mine
[Bridge]
They said we were too young to know a thing like this
That love like ours was just a fleeting kid's wish
But seasons turned to years, the playground turned to streets
And that quiet knowing settled deep beneath
The teenage storms and changes, the doubts that came and went
That childhood connection was the solid ground we leant
Against the rushing current, a constant, steady glow
The first friend, the last home, the only one I know
[Chorus]
Oh, we found it young, before the world turned grey
That tiny spark grew brighter every day
My soulmate standing through the chaos and the shine
A perfect fit, a simple, sacred sign
Playground hearts, weathered and refined
Still knowing you were always meant for mine
[Outro]
