The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
And you throw your head back laughing
I just wanna know you better,
I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you.
Something gave you the nerve to touch my hand,
It’s nice to have a friend.
Told myself don’t get attached
But in my mind, I play it back.
Our secret moments in a crowded room,
Blushing all the way home.
A mysterious way about you dear
And all I can feel in my stomach is butterflies.
Please don’t be in love with someone else.
Please don’t have somebody waiting on you.
Please don’t be a stranger whose laugh I can recognise anywhere.
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless dreaming.
You might have me believing
I don’t always have to be alone.
This daydream is dangerous.
I don’t want to look at anything else
I don’t want to think of anything else
Now that I thought of you.
We’re driving down the road, I wonder if you know,
I’m trying so hard not go get caught up now.
I’m the one who makes you laugh
And you tell me ‘bout your dreams.
I don’t want you like a best friend.
Sometimes I wonder when you sleep,
Are you ever dreaming of me?
Sometimes when I look in your eyes,
And as we walked, we were talking
I didn’t say half the things I wanted to.
I’ve never had the courage of my convictions
As long as danger is near.
Nothing safe is worth the drive.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.
All this silence and patience,
From holding back from you.
Say you wanna be with me too.
2 AM feeling like I just lost a friend.
Like the end of a sad movie.
And you might think I’m bulletproof
What should be over burrowed under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt.
September saw a month of tears.
Stood on the cliffside screaming
Were there clues I didn’t see?
Back when I was living for the hope of it all.
Maybe I was naive got lost in your eyes and never really had a chance.
Maybe we got lost in translation.
Maybe I asked for too much.
Maybe this thing was a masterpiece and you tore it all up.
You drew stars around my scars
And now they’re bleeding.
Leave the perfume on the shelf.
Take the words for what they are.
Cause you weren’t mine to lose.
I, I, I persist and resist
The temptation to ask you -
If one thing had been different,
Would everything be different
Something keeps me holding on to nothing.
Good girls, hopeful they’ll be
Chandelier still fLiKeRiNg here.
I’m still a believer and I don’t know why.
People are people and sometimes we change our minds.
When you’re young, you just run
But you come back to what you need.
I’m still on that trapeze,
I’m still trying everything,
To keep you looking at me.
Is the only hoax I believe in.
The devil’s in the details
But you’ve got a friend in me.
It’s nice to have a friend.
