Back then I thought that we might never work out
Because it never went my way
But now you've gone and fallen in my direction
And I'm hoping you might stay
It was the first of August in '22
The first day I caught myself ever thinking of you
Because you're so kind and mature
Gosh, I wish I had liked you
But I had no idea that I was about to
I wish I could go and choose you from the beginning
You're my happy ending
The day I thought that we might have a chance
Was when you texted my best friend
Like a middle school crush saying it won't work
But then she told you, "Think again"
It was the 22nd of October in '22
The time I finally knew you liked me, too
The stars shining bright left your eyes gleaming
And every song I wrote before lost all it's meaning
I wish I could go and choose you from the beginning
You're my happy ending
I hope that in '23
You'll know how much you mean to me
It's hard for me to be open with my feelings
So I write them down hoping you'll hear me out
Because from the first of August in '22
To right now sitting here next to you
I knew I never made a mistake
Everything I did just led me your way
I wish I could go and choose you from the beginning
You're my happy ending
