에반 라일리 Evan Riley

At the Rink With You

You tied your laces like you do

Then asked if I needed help too

I laughed and said, “I’m fine,” but still

You held my hand so I wouldn’t spill

You skated backwards just to tease

Then circled right back next to me

Your scarf blew in the winter air

And somehow I couldn’t help but stare

I didn't know a moment

Could feel like something new

But every time you smiled

My heartbeat skated too

At the rink with you

Everything felt brighter, every color turned to blue

Well, baby blue like the lights that danced around us two

I didn’t know first love could feel this true

But I felt it skating next to you

You bought hot cocoa, said “Here, take mine”

I swear that smile should be a crime

You brushed the snowflakes from my hair

I froze a bit, pretending not to care

We raced along the frozen floor

You slowed down just to match my score

You said, “Don’t fall, I got you, okay?”

And that small line made my whole day

I didn’t plan on liking

Someone the way I do

But every step we made

My feelings followed you

At the rink with you

Everything felt brighter, every color turned to blue

The kind of blue that sparkled when I looked at you

I didn’t know first love could feel this true

But I felt it skating next to you

Maybe it’s silly, maybe it’s small

But I’ve never felt this way at all

A simple day, a winter tune

But you made my teenage heart bloom soon

At the rink with you

Laughing through the cold like the world was something new

Oh every little moment was a dream come true

I didn’t know first love could feel this true

But I found it

At the rink with you
