🎵 Lyrics

Split second.
She turns the corner.
I vanish.

She walks in like a plot twist, Red heels, high risk.

I’m just a nerd with a checklist, Avoid her glance, that’s top of the list.
Heartbeat’s doing Morse code, Every blink’s a panic mode.
I duck behind the vending stand, Acting cool with chips in hand.
She’s got that spy-movie strut, I’m just a glitch in the cut.
If she says “hi,” I’ll combust— So I vanish, yeah, I must.

Split second, I’m gone again, Like a shadow in the pouring rain.
Heartbeat’s ticking like a bomb, Can’t stay cool, can’t stay calm.
Split second, I disappear, Every time that she comes near.
I’m not slick, I’m not brave— Just a nerd who’s trying to evade.

She’s browsing books, aisle three, I teleport to aisle B.
Pretend I’m deep in “Physics of Love,”
But I’m just praying she won’t speak of...Anything.
Even “hello.”
That’s enough to make me go Full-on stealth mode, ninja crawl, Behind the shelves, against the wall.

It’s not rejection, it’s survival.
She’s the sun, I’m archival.
If she smiles, I might combust So I vanish, vanish, vanish...
ba-da-ba-daaah!

Split second, I’m out the door, Like a chase scene in a grocery store.
Heartbeat’s louder than a brass band, I need a plan, I need to stand.
Maybe next time I’ll hold my ground, Say “hi” without spinning around.
But for now, I’m just that guy Split second, blink, goodbye.
