Just for a Moment
Joshua Bassett Dan Book & Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics

I fell in love
I developed romantic feelings for someone

With the only girl who knows what I'm about
I fell in love with someone who truly understands me

With a boy and I can't tell if I fell out
I'm unsure if my feelings for this person have faded or not

After all is said and done
Even after everything that has happened

I can't just pretend I'm moving on
I can't pretend to be over this person

Is it just a part we're playing
Are we just pretending to have moved on?

'Cause it don't feel like we're fakin'
It feels like our feelings for each other are real

When we're underneath the lights
When we are performing or in the spotlight

My heart's no longer broken
I feel happy and whole

For a moment
But only for a short period of time

Just for a moment
A brief time of happiness or connection

When we're singin' side by side
When we are working or performing together

There's so much left unspoken
There are so many feelings between us that we haven't expressed

A moment in love (just for a moment)
A brief moment of romantic feelings

But is a moment enough?
Is a brief moment of happiness and connection with this person enough to sustain a relationship?

Way, way back then
A long time ago

Always dreamed it's you and me 'til the end
I always imagined us being together forever

Now, we can't play pretend
We can't keep pretending we're just friends

And I'm scared to talk to my best friend
I'm afraid to tell my closest friend how I really feel about this person

Should I stay or let you go?
Should I continue pursuing this relationship or move on?

Will you love me when the curtains close?
Will you still love me when the performance is over?

Maybe
Perhaps

Your heart still stops when you see me
You still have strong feelings for me

Maybe it's worth another try
Maybe we should give our relationship another chance

Better place, better time
Perhaps if we were in a different situation or time, things would work out better
