[Verse 1]
Last summer at Maddy's Diner, you ordered vanilla milkshake, extra straw
We split a basket of fries and you traced ketchup constellations on my palm
You fell asleep on my shoulder during that stupid sad movie — I held the remote like a lifeline
I stole your hoodie that night; it still smells like lavender and late train platforms
You texted, "Do you even love me?" and I answered with a meme, then wished I’d said more
I still mess up your name in texts sometimes — my thumbs are clumsy but my heart knows yours
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the Polaroid from the ferris wheel, your laugh caught in the corner
Saved the movie ticket, the coin you dropped at the laundromat — proof I notice the little things
So when silence shows up at your door, know there’s a drawer full of reasons I stayed
[Chorus]
Maddie, pull my hoodie close
Maddie, pull my hoodie close
I’ll be loud when the world is quiet — pull my hoodie close
[Verse 2]
I learned your coffee order: half-sweet oat latte, two pumps, no foam
I’ve rewatched the way you tuck your hair behind your ear so I can learn the places you like to be touched
You cried through the credits and I memorized the rhythm of that breathing
I taped a Polaroid to my mirror so on bad mornings I can remember you exist
I washed your jacket twice and kept the lint in a jar, stupid rituals that mean I try
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m not good at grand speeches — I fail at metaphors and I trip over quiet moments
But I show up: I bring umbrellas, I text first when you blink into silence, I learn your playlists
If proof is what you need, I have a suitcase full — small things, clumsy hands, steady feet
[Chorus — Build]
Maddie, pull my hoodie close
Maddie, pull my hoodie close
I kept your Polaroid, I kept your coin, I kept the ticket lines you love
Maddie, pull my hoodie close — let this be the part you hum when doubt shows up
[Bridge — The Risk]
I’m scared to say this loud because I could lose you for saying it wrong
So here it is: I am so afraid of mornings without you I’ve practiced asking you not to go
If you walked out that door, I’d drive until my phone died, stand under your window and sing our stupid songs
I’m not trying to hold you down — I’m saying I’d break if I let you slip from the places I saved you in
[Chorus — Final]
Maddie, pull my hoodie close
Maddie, pull my hoodie close
I’ll be the voice when your heart forgets the words, the hands that learn your maps
Maddie, pull my hoodie close — don’t let doubt write our ending
[Outro]
Take the half-broken mixtape on my phone, the receipt from the diner, the lint I kept
i’ll keep learning how to love you, awkwardly, loudly, for as long as you let me
Maddie, pull my hoodie close — I’m here, and I’m staying.
