Do You Wanna Be Friends

Do you wanna be friends?
I mean I wanna be more
But if friends is how I get to have you, then sure

I’ll be quiet in my pining
I won’t tell you about the pain
I’ll be silent in the night when I know that you’re asleep
But I wanna ask if you’re awake

So we’ll be friends, and I’ll be okay
The world won’t end if you don’t love me
Even if it feels that way

I’ll be quiet in my pining
I won’t tell you about the pain
I’ll be silent in the night when
All I wanna do is tell you how perfect I thought you looked today

I don’t know where the line is so
I’ll stay on my side even when you’re not on yours
I tread lightly
In case I might be crossing a boundary we used to break before

But I’ll be your best friend, simple as that
And when you play pretend that things are the way they were
I won’t flirt back

I’ll be quiet in my pining
I won’t tell you about the pain
I’ll be silent in the night when you text me
And ask: Hey are you awake?
