Best Friend

(album: Laps Around The Sun - 2018)

See I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep some nights
I'd find you up
We would sit on the couch and talk about, the places where we were from
And it wasn't like we spent much time alone
She spent time with me, while you spent time on your phone
And I would cook dinner, while you took a shower
She would sit and talk to me, leaning over the counter

I'm in love with your best friend
And I can't pretend, that this is going to work anymore
This wasn't just on the weekend
It's been blooming to a point, darling now I simply cannot ignore it
If I was trying to explain
It's like she's the earth my hearts the sun it's been revolving around
I'm in love with your best friend
I need to tell you myself before you figure this out

See I wasn't the only one who likes seeing the sunrise
I'd find you up
We would walk down together, while you stayed in bed, head too heavy from getting drunk
And it wasn't like we spent much time alone
There weren't many moments that you weren't on your phone
All of these books I've read and liked in your house, are all hers not yours
Darling I'm freaking out

I'm in love with your best friend
And I can't pretend that this is going to work anymore
This wasn't just on the weekend
It's been blooming to a point, darling now I simply cannot ignore it
If I was trying to explain
It's like she's the earth my hearts the sun it's been revolving around
I'm in love with your best friend
I need to tell you myself before you figure this out

Please just believe me, I know that it ain't easy, but I'm trying all I can
To give you reason, in how this wasn't part of something that I planned
I know your close to her, she's close to me, this was supposed to be
Distance between us two
Distance between us two
Distance between us two
