[Verse 1]
I used to talk to the screen
Like you could hear me breathe
Turned page, hit pause, stayed down
On a girl made of fantasy
Late nights, I said, “Show me”
A heart with a pulse, not code
Then the room got strange
When the ink in the air got bold
She stepped out clean
Like a dream with a name
Lute in the doorway
And nothing stayed the same
I froze, then grinned
Like, “Baby, you’re real?”
She laughed at the shock
Said, “Boy, now how you feel?”
[Pre-Chorus]
I was hoping for love
Now love walked in
I was reaching for a spark
Then she lit my skin
[Chorus]
Lute came alive
Lute came alive
I was lost in the frame
Now she’s right by my side
Lute came alive
Lute came alive
If she’ll take my hand
I’ma make her my wife
[Verse 2]
I ain’t playing games
I’m talking meet the folks
Ring box in my coat
And a plan that I wrote
She move like a scene
That forgot it was drawn
Hair like a storm
And a stare that goes on
I told her, “Listen
I’m not here to pretend
I want forever
Not a one-night page turn end”
She said, “You sure?”
I said, “Dead sure”
I’d marry your shadow
Before I’d let you return
You were fiction at first
Now you’re flesh and flame
Every line I read
Still spells your name
[Pre-Chorus]
I was hoping for love
Now love walked in
I was reaching for a spark
Then she lit my skin
[Chorus]
Lute came alive
Lute came alive
I was lost in the frame
Now she’s right by my side
Lute came alive
Lute came alive
If she’ll take my hand
I’ma make her my wife
[Bridge]
If the world calls me crazy
Let them talk, let them stare
I found a soul in the fiction
And she met me there
No more wondering
No more “what if”
I got my answer now
When she said my name like this
[Final Chorus]
Lute came alive
Lute came alive
I was lost in the frame
Now she’s right by my side
Lute came alive
Lute came alive
Put that ring on her hand
I’ma make her my wife
Lute came alive
Lute came alive
From the page to the heart
Now she’s all mine
