[Verse 1: Joshua Bassett & Olivia Rodrigo]
I fell in love
With the only girl who knows what I'm about
I fell in love
With a boy, and I can't tell if I fell out
[Pre-Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett]
After all is said and done
I can't just pretend I'm movin' on
Is it just a part we're playin'?
'Cause it don't feel like we're fakin'
[Chorus: Both, Joshua Bassett & Olivia Rodrigo]
When we're underneath the lights
My heart's no longer broken
For a moment, just for a moment
When we're singing side by side
There's so much left unspoken
For a moment, just for a moment
A moment in love (Just for a moment)
A moment in love (Just for a moment)
But is a moment enough?
[Verse 2: Joshua Bassett & Olivia Rodrigo]
Way, way back then
Always dreamed it's you and me 'til the end
Now, we can't play pretend
And I'm scared to talk to my best friend
[Pre-Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett]
Should I stay or let you go?
Will you love me when the curtains close?
Is it just a part we're playin'?
'Cause it don't feel like we're fakin'
[Chorus: Both & Joshua Bassett]
When we're underneath the lights
My heart's no longer broken
For a moment, just for a moment
When we're singing side by side
There's so much left unspoken
For a moment (Ooh), just for a moment
A moment in love (Just for a moment)
A moment in love (Just for a moment)
But is a moment enough?
[Bridge: Olivia Rodrigo]
Maybe, your heart still stops when you see me
Maybe it's worth another try
Better place, better time
[Chorus: Both, Joshua Bassett & Olivia Rodrigo]
When we're underneath the lights (Underneath the lights)
My heart's no longer broken (My heart's no longer broken)
For a moment, just for a moment (Just for a moment)
When we're singing side by side (Side)
There's so much left unspoken
For a moment, just for a moment
A moment in love (Just for a moment)
A moment in love (Just for a moment; oh)
But is a moment enough?
[Outro: Both]
When we're underneath the lights
My heart's no longer broken
For a moment, just for a moment

We were all in the East High Theater and Tim Federle, the creator of the show, approached Olivia and I and said, ‘Hey, I know this is a wild idea – it’s very early in the process – but there might be a slot where you two could submit a song. There are no promises, but I just want to plant the seed i...

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Joshua explained how “Just for a Moment” changed Disney’s perspective on allowing the actors to write songs for the series:
I think one of the cool things that this kind of did … is it opened the door to a different kind of environment where, initially, w...
