[Verse 1]
He’s got dirt on his boots, and a laugh like a breeze,
A touch of the wild, but a heart that’s at ease.
Sunset falls on his shoulders wide,
And those green eyes hold the Tennessee sky.
[Prechorus]
I’ve been waiting, just biding my time,
Holding back words that don’t quite rhyme.
[Chorus]
Oh, this slow burn, it’s a quiet fire,
A tender ache, a growing desire.
He don’t know, but I can’t pretend,
I’m falling for my green-eyed best friend.
[Verse 2]
He fixes my truck, won’t take a dime,
Says, “You know I got you, anytime.”
We sit by the creek, the world fades away,
But I can’t find the nerve to ask him to stay.
[Prechorus]
It’s in the silence, in the spaces between,
The things I feel, and the things he’s seen.
[Chorus]
Oh, this slow burn, it’s a quiet fire,
A tender ache, a growing desire.
He don’t know, but I can’t pretend,
I’m falling for my green-eyed best friend.
[Verse 3]
We drive into town, windows down low,
He jokes ’bout my music on the radio.
I roll my eyes, but he grins that grin,
And I swear I feel something shift again.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s small,
Just a quiet feeling I can’t name at all.
[Ending Chorus]
Oh, this slow burn, steady and sure,
Nothing rushed and nothing blurred.
If he ever feels more than just a friend,
I’ll be right here, letting the moment begin.
Yeah, this slow burn might never end…
Still falling for my green-eyed best friend
