I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend

(album: You & I - 2023)

Closing time, you take off your jumper
Home and dry, feels like better weather
But then I can't string words together
Tongue-tied forever

I was better at this when I was seventeen
I would be making the move the way you're looking at me
Now we're writing a song on your bedroom floor
And people are calling you just ignore them all

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a bit of self-confidence
Oh I swear I'm in love with you
But I gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'd write it out a million times
But then I get scared to send
Oh I swear I'm in love with you
But I gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back

Hanging on every word that you say
Play your songs, play the one we just made
Long slow nights, warm white wine and mind games
Don't want us to change

I was better at this when I was twenty-one
The way you're looking at me like we're already in love
Now we're filling our drinks on your bedroom floor
People are calling you just ignore them all

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a bit of self-confidence
Oh I swear I'm in love with you
But I got to lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'd write it out a million times
But then I get scared to send
Oh I swear I'm in love with you
But I gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
Yeah, a little self-confidence
So I swear I'm in love with you
But I got to lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
