V's a rumor pacing rooftops at night
Converse on concrete, hoodie pulled tight
He watches the city like it might break
Like every wrong turn is his to take
They call him a villain, a tear in the sky
But when he looks my way, I learn how to fly
He lives in my dreams, stitched into the dark
With him, every end feels like a start
He's the boy for me
He's strong, he's safe
He can protect me
Midnight guardian, impossible and free
Makes the whole world feel open
He's the boy for me, it's V
But V says "run," keeps distance wide
Still haven't seen the face he hides
Eli though? I know his name
Small-town heart in a big-city frame
He says the right things, shows up on time
Stands in the light, draws a straight line
A good guy, steady, believes in me
Feels like safety's supposed to be
He's the boy for me
He's strong, he's safe
He can protect me
Hands in the daylight, promises easy
Love that makes sense, calm and steady
He's the boy for me, it's Eli
It's Eli
I was wrong, hallway buzzing loud
Eli grips my arm, grip too proud
Fingertips flare, leave burning lines
Then Miles cuts in like game-time prime
Star on the field, fast, unafraid
He shoves Eli back, won't let me break
When he stands close, my chest feels calm
Like grass-stained knees and a childhood lawn
He's the boy for me
He's strong, he's safe
He can protect me
Moves like victory, steady and sure
Feels like home in a world unsure
He's the boy for me, it's Miles
…Or is it?
'Cause when the dark came
'Cause when the dark came calling my name
He left me with the devil, unanswered and afraid
Letters stacked high, never replied
Home went quiet, and so did I
