Lyrics

I keep it all inside, like a Trapper Keeper
Our song blastin' through the speakers
Those eyes make my knees weaker
I love you like my Trapper Keeper

I sit two seats back in chemistry
Watch her doodle hearts on her notebook sleeve
She don’t even know my name
But I’m memorizing hers like it's stuck in my brain
She laughs with her friends, she’s everything I’m not
I’m a hoodie-wearing mixtape-making long shot

But I swear when she looks my way
It’s like everything fades and I’m center stage

I keep it all inside, like a Trapper Keeper
Our song blastin' through the speakers
Those eyes make my knees weaker
I love you like my Trapper Keeper

Inside, like a Trapper Keeper
Love notes taken by the teacher
Your smile just makes me weaker
I love you like my Trapper Keeper

Oh oh, like a Trapper Keeper
Oh oh, like a Trapper Keeper

She floats down the hall like she owns the scene
I’m just background noise in her teenage dream
But I freeze up when she glances through
Like a deer in headlights in my worn-out shoes
Posters for the dance taped up on the wall
Do I cross that bridge and risk the fall?

I could ask you now, maybe crack a joke
But my heart's still hid in a folder of hope

I keep it all inside, like a Trapper Keeper
Our song blastin' through the speakers
Those eyes make my knees weaker
I love you like my Trapper Keeper

Inside, like a Trapper Keeper
Love notes taken by the teacher
Your smile just makes me weaker
I love you like my Trapper Keeper

Oh oh, like a Trapper Keeper
Oh oh, like a Trapper Keeper

One day I’ll pass you a folded note
With a check yes or no and a smiley I wrote
You’ll laugh and maybe circle that heart...
But you’re out of this world and we're leagues apart

I keep it all inside, like a Trapper Keeper
Our song blastin' through the speakers
Those eyes make my knees weaker
I love you like my Trapper Keeper

Inside, like a Trapper Keeper
Love notes taken by the teacher
Your smile just makes me weaker
I love you like my Trapper Keeper

Oh oh, like a Trapper Keeper
Oh oh, like a Trapper Keeper
