When The Screen Becomes Real

[Verse 1]

It started with a hello, a voice on the phone,

Two strangers talking, but I never felt alone.

Then I saw your smile shining through my screen,

And suddenly you became the best part of my dreams.

Every late-night conversation, every laugh we share,

Every time you look at me, I swear I'm already there.

Miles may be between us, but they don't feel that far,

'Cause somehow from a distance, you've already touched my heart.

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been counting down the days,

Watching September come my way.

And every mile I'll drive is worth it

Just to finally see your face.

 

[Chorus]

When the screen becomes real,

And you're standing there with me,

No more pixels, no more distance,

Just the girl I've waited to see.

I'll finally hold you close,

And find out how forever feels.

September fourth can't come fast enough,

For the moment the screen becomes real.

 

[Verse 2]

I've imagined that first moment a thousand different ways,

Will we laugh, will we get nervous, will I forget what to say?

Maybe I'll just look into your eyes and smile,

Knowing every road that brought me there was worth every mile.

From the fourth until the sixth, I don't need anything more,

Just waking up and knowing you're the one I'm waking for.

We'll make memories together that a phone could never show,

And maybe what we're building is a love we'll never let go.

 

[Pre-Chorus]

So I'll put the music on,

Watch the highway rolling on.

Every sign and every exit

Brings me closer to your arms.

 

[Chorus]

When the screen becomes real,

And you're standing there with me,

No more pixels, no more distance,

Just the girl I've waited to see.

I'll finally hold you close,

And find out how forever feels.

September fourth can't come fast enough,

For the moment the screen becomes real.

 

[Bridge]

Maybe love doesn't always come

The way we thought it would.

Sometimes it starts with one small hello

And turns into something good.

And I don't need to know tomorrow,

I just know what I feel tonight—

You're giving me a reason

To believe the timing's right.

 

[Final Chorus]

When the screen becomes real,

I'll finally touch your hand,

I'll look into those beautiful eyes

And hope you understand.

That every call and every night,

Every laugh and every thrill,

Was leading us to September

When the screen becomes real.

And when it's time to drive back home,

I'll carry every memory still.

But maybe that's just chapter one

Of something beautiful and real.

 

[Outro]So here's to every mile between us,

And every mile that disap

pears…

I can't wait to finally meet you,

And turn these feelings into years.
