When I See Your Beautiful Face
by Dylan Lynch
Lyrics
Verse 1
You said “one more round,” then the morning got close
I had a joke in the chat, but I typed it too slow
Your little avatar waved, and my whole team knew
I forgot what we queued for when you said “hey, you”
Pre-Chorus
Now I’m replaying that laugh like a clip on repeat
Making wild little theories from a two-word tweet
I should sleep, but my brain’s doing laps in my room
Then you send me a picture and the whole place blooms
Chorus
When I see your beautiful face, I lose my place
Words tumble out, I can’t keep a straight face
My heart goes sprinting, my hands misbehave
You look at me once and I forget how to play
Oh, I’m trying to act like this isn’t a thing
But I grin at my phone like it just learned to sing
When I see your beautiful face, what can I say?
The whole wide world gets brighter that way
Verse 2
I tell my friends “it’s nothing,” then I say your name
Like a secret little password in a very loud game
You’re drawing tiny stars on the edge of your notes
I’m pretending not to notice, then I notice them both
Pre-Chorus
Now I’m rehearsing hello like it’s opening night
Then you walk through the door and I forget every line
If I stumble, just laugh, I’ll be laughing there too
I’m a mess in the best way whenever it’s you
Chorus
When I see your beautiful face, I lose my place
Words tumble out, I can’t keep a straight face
My heart goes sprinting, my hands misbehave
You look at me once and I forget how to play
Oh, I’m trying to act like this isn’t a thing
But I grin at my phone like it just learned to sing
When I see your beautiful face, what can I say?
The whole wide world gets brighter that way
Bridge
Maybe it’s silly, maybe it’s real
Maybe I’m learning to say what I feel
No grand plan, no perfect phrase
Just you, just me, and this runaway gaze
Final Chorus
When I see your beautiful face, I lose my place
Words tumble out, I can’t keep a straight face
My heart goes sprinting, my hands misbehave
You look at me once and I forget how to play
Oh, I’m done pretending this isn’t a thing
You make an ordinary Tuesday feel like spring
When I see your beautiful face, what can I say?
The whole wide world gets brighter that way
Outro
One more round, one more minute, don’t go away
I’ll tell you the rest when I see you today
