[Verse 1]
We’re on your couch
Feet on the table
You laugh too hard at shows I hate
You steal my fries
Call me ungrateful
I say “you’re the worst” but I love this place
You fall asleep in mid-conversation
Phone in your hand
Hair in your face
I tuck you in like it’s nothing
Then lie awake
Heart running a race
[Pre-Chorus]
Every joke
Every line
I hide the truth between them
If you knew what’s in my mind
Would it lose the ease we’re in?
[Chorus]
So I just say “drive safe”
Text “did you get home?”
Type out “I love you”
Then delete it from my phone
I call you “best friend”
When I mean “soulmate”
All these words I never say
Keep my heart one step too late
(yeah, one step too late)
[Verse 2]
You call me up
Crying at midnight
He broke your heart
I play the friend
I bring you chips
Some awful movies
You wear my hoodie
You never give it back again
You say “why can’t guys be like you?”
I bite my tongue
Just change the song
I make you tea
You lean your head on me
I pretend that this is all I want
[Pre-Chorus]
Every plan
Every ride
I’m turning “what if” into “nah”
If I crossed that fragile line
Would I lose the best thing that I’ve got?
[Chorus]
So I just say “sleep well”
And “you deserve more”
Write “I’m in love with you”
Then erase it at the door
I call you “weirdo”
When I mean “perfect”
All these words I never say
Hide the thing I know is worth it
(yeah, you’re so worth it)
[Bridge]
Maybe someday
I’ll slip
I’ll stumble
Let it fall out
In a nervous mumble
Till then I’ll hold it
Like a secret flame
Lighting up my chest
Every time you say my name
[Chorus]
So I just say “drive safe”
Text “did you eat?”
Type out “I love you”
Then delete before I sleep
I call you “best friend”
When I mean “always”
All these words I never say
Turn to echoes in my brain
All these words I never say
But I feel them anyway
