Friend

I don't think I want this to end just yet
I don't wanna call you my friend
When I think my love exceeds those borders
But I just can't say that yet
So I'll just feel it from afar
Just far enough so you can bet
But I just can't say I love you yet

But I would drive you to the airport
Be proud of you and say it
Make sure you've eaten breakfast
And be on my quickest wit
I'll say sorry when I lose my breath
Lie and say its not cause of this
I cant say it's cause I caught myself staring at your lips

I don't think I want this to end just yet
If it does we might just be friends
If I learn the truth then I'll know what it means
When you're staring at me breathless
So I will hold it like a secret
Let it burn holes in my chest
But I just can't say I love you yet
Oh I just can't say I love you yet

It hasn't been long since I've known you
And i know that youre a stranger still
But there's somethin in the air when you are near
Like I've got so much left to learn
And I'm sending all the lessons in you
But I didn't ask for this and I know neither did you
Its a December night, the first snow
We're in my car hidin from the cold

And I'm telling you so many stories
I thought that I would take to my grave
But you're laughing, smiling, forgiving my ways
And I'm learning about your mother
How you wish that she'd just go to therapy
Somehow I'm glad everything happened cause who would you be?
Now we're brushing hands, passing phones
Lines we drew in the sand are getting covered by the snow

I really didn't mean to love you
I truly didn't think I could
After all these years I spent punishing every mirror
I know I shouldn't put this on you
I think I could use your help
If you just walk with me and show me that you're here
Now you're pressing your head against mine
I just want this all to pause for a time
