Solene Pereira

[Verse 1]
First day in September
Name on the roll call sheet
Tiny heart on the corner
You drew around your seat
You laughed when I mispronounced it
Said
"You'll get it right someday"
Now it’s written on my notebook
All the margins spell your name

[Chorus]
Solene Pereira
Runs through my mind like a song I can’t tame
Solene Pereira
Sudden little sunrise every time I say your name
Solene
Solene
Everything softens
Everything changes
Solene Pereira
I’m learning my heart in a handful of pages

[Verse 2]
You talk with your hands when you’re nervous
Bracelet ringing like a bell
You say you’re still finding your courage
I say you wear it so well
We miss the bus just from talking
Walk the long way home instead
You’re tracing stars on the sidewalk
I’m tracing you in my head

[Chorus]
