Alex in Black

First day back, walking through the halls,

Then I saw you leaning by the walls.

Dressed in black like a midnight sky,

Ginger hair and those beautiful brown eyes.

I didn’t know your name back then,

But I knew I wanted to see you again.

Something about you caught my attention,

Like a song I couldn’t stop replaying.

And everybody’s talking, but I don’t hear a sound,

‘Cause when you walk by,

my world slows down.

I don’t know how you do what you do,

But somehow, Alex, I keep looking for you.

Alex, you walked into my life,

All in black with those beautiful

brown eyes? (yeah) Ginger hair shining under the lights,

You made an ordinary day feel right.

Loving Avril, with that rebel heart,

I swear you stood out right from the start.

Alex, I don’t know where this goes,

But you’re the one I can’t get out of my thoughts.

You had that look like you didn’t care,

But somehow everybody noticed you there.

Headphones on, Avril playing loud,

Different from everyone in the crowd.

I wanted to say something,

anything, But every word got caught when you smiled at me.

So I walked away pretending I’m fine,

While your face kept running through my mind.

Maybe someday I’ll tell you the truth,

How I felt the second I noticed you.

It wasn’t just the black clothes or your hair,

It was something different hiding underneath there.

And if you ever wonder who made my heart skip,

Alex, it was you with that little smile and your fingertips.

Alex, you walked into my life,

Like a spark in the middle of the night.

Ginger hair and beautiful eyes,

Got me falling without even trying.

Loving Avril, singing every word,

You’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.

Alex, if you only knew,

The first girl I noticed was always you.

So here’s my song,

and here’s my truth,

I still remember the first time I saw you.

All dressed in black,

standing there alone— Alex,

somehow you felt like home.
