Dorm Room Fireworks
by Avery Beres
Lyrics
Verse 1
Met you in a hallway
Coffee in your hand, half asleep
Said the midterms killin' you
I laughed, said “same, come sit with me”
Late lab lights
You’re stealing all my highlighters
You on my hoodie
Talking ‘bout your favorite writers
Chorus
Didn’t know that I’d find love in college
Right between the chaos and the knowledge
On a busted couch, in a crowded dorm
Somehow you made this campus feel like home
Yeah, page by page we’re writing our story
High-top shoes and secondhand glory
Didn’t know that I’d find love in college
But here you are, right here with me
Verse 2
Group chat blowing up
We ghost it just to take that walk
You’re tracing hearts
In the foggy window of the quad
Instant noodles, 2 a.m.
You’re humming while the water boils
My sweatshirt on
Your hair a mess, you still look royal (oh yeah)
Chorus
Didn’t know that I’d find love in college
Right between the chaos and the knowledge
On a busted couch, in a crowded dorm
Somehow you made this campus feel like home
Yeah, page by page we’re writing our story
High-top shoes and secondhand glory
Didn’t know that I’d find love in college
But here you are, right here with me
Bridge
Cap and gown in the mirror
Your name on the program, too
Scared of leaving this little world
But I’m leaving it with you (hey!)
If the lecture halls fade
And the posters peel away
We’ll still have bad coffee
And the way you said my name
Chorus
Didn’t know that I’d find love in college
Right between the chaos and the knowledge
On a busted couch, in a crowded dorm
Somehow you made this campus feel like home
Yeah, page by page we’re writing our story
High-top shoes and secondhand glory
Didn’t know that I’d find love in college
But here you are, right here with me (oh-oh)
Yeah, here you are, right here with me
