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?
