Look I think that you and I would be a good fit I know you work yourself up, I work you down from it And try and get you to laugh a little louder Stay up a little later I’d probably end up convincing you to go out more We’d probably spend Sunday afternoons in thrift stores Or drive to the middle of nowhere and make out in the back of your car And now, I know, it’s just a dream And you are not in love with me Sometimes it’s nice to think About the way it would be About the way it would be About the way it would be About the way it would be To be completely honest this is nothing new It’s been about a year of me falling for you And honestly I don’t know what to do So I’m just hanging on In my experience, this is worth it You meet somebody at a time you weren’t expecting When I looked you in the eye I knew if timing was different we’d have given it a try And now, I know, it’s just a dream And you are not in love with me Sometimes it’s nice to think About the way it would be About the way it would be About the way it would be About the way it would be For the record I’m not trying To win you over or change your mind I just want you to be as happy As you Can Be I know, I know, it’s all a dream And you are not in love with me But sometimes it’s nice too think About the way it would be About the way it would be About the way it would be About the way it would be

We go out and drink all night You shuffle in close and it feels so nice When it’s time to call it quits They bring one bill and we ask to get it split And we’ll leave here in separate cars You’ll go to him and I’ll go to another bar And meet up with a real close friend Probably be told that this should end You’ve already got somebody to go back to But I find myself wanting to tell you, you don’t have to, go back to So I try seeing other people And let you know just how it goes Cause you and I are always candid Very few things you don’t know But I got something to tell you I just haven’t had a chance to yet That I’m falling in love with you I’be been, Fall for you since we met You’ve already got somebody to go back to But I find myself wanting to tell you, you don’t have to, go back to But then the stark realization That I may never have you or hold you or get you alone for the night But I knew all of that when I let myself fall for someone who’s loved somebody else And has for some time

The Truth 03:52
Sometimes you just can’t tell the truth I won’t show you the things I wrote The songs will die, on posted notes And I will try to fall out of love with you All my friends say they see something too I don’t wanna get too close I feel naked fully clothed And all my friends say they see Something in me, something in you But you still love him babe You’ll probably play it safe and take his name And I’ll never tell you I love you to your face When we meet eyes, we don’t rush to look away I really shouldn’t be this hung up But I can’t seem to be with you enough And all my friends say they see something in me, something in you But you still love him babe You’ll probably play it safe and take his name And I’ll never tell you I love you to your face Let’s never talk about it Let’s never tell our friends about it
