Haelyn

🎵 Title: “Haelyn”

 

(Intro)

Yeah…

This one’s for her.

Not just a name — Haelyn.

Let’s go.

 

⸻

 

(Verse 1)

I saw her once and the world slowed down,

No sound, just light in this Midwest town

She got that calm in a storm, grace in a glance

One smile, and I swear I ain’t had a chance

 

I’m posted up, quiet like a prayer at dusk

Heart racin’ like I’m leadin’ off, full of rust

Cubs fitted, dreams knitted, holdin’ the line

But I’m stuck in my head just hopin’ she’s mine

 

She ain’t gotta know yet, I play it cool

Even if my heart’s runnin’ faster than school

Got the game face on but she breaks the mask

If she ever looked twice, I’d forget to ask

 

⸻

 

(Hook)

Haelyn, girl, you got me thinkin’ different

You walk in the room, the whole thing’s glistenin’

I ain’t said a word, but I’m writin’ a verse

Every beat, every bar — it’s a blessing, not a curse

Haelyn, you shine when the skies go grey

You’re the calm in the fall, you’re the light in my day

And maybe someday, if the stars align

I’ll say your name in rhythm and you’ll call it mine

 

⸻

 

(Verse 2)

I seen heartbreaks, rejection’s sting

But you different — not just a crush or a spring fling

This ain’t about games, this ain’t for the show

This is real like a fastball hittin’ the zone

 

Got dreams bigger than the bleachers at Wrigley

But with you in the picture, it all fits quickly

I’d trade the whole ninth for one lunch at your table

Even if I fumble the words, I’m still able

 

I see you laughin’ with your friends from afar

Like you don’t even know you already raised the bar

I ain’t perfect, I’m just learnin’ my lines

But I swear every lyric I write rewinds to Haelyn

 

⸻

 

(Hook)

Haelyn, girl, you got me thinkin’ different

You walk in the room, the whole thing’s glistenin’

I ain’t said a word, but I’m writin’ a verse

Every beat, every bar — it’s a blessing, not a curse

Haelyn, you shine when the skies go grey

You’re the calm in the fall, you’re the light in my day

And maybe someday, if the stars align

I’ll say your name in rhythm and you’ll call it mine

 

⸻

 

(Outro)

So I’ll keep quiet, but I’ll keep this pen

Til the moment’s right — maybe then

I’ll let the silence fade, let the chorus play

And finally tell you what I been tryin’ to say…

Haelyn.
