[Verse 1]
We walk to class, you talk, I listen
Sunlight catchin’ the way you’re grinnin’
You say his name like it’s easy and free
And I just nod like it don’t hit me
You tell me things that you never hide
Every low and every high tide
I’m right there every step you take
Smilin’ through a small heartbreak
[Chorus]
Oh, I know I’m just your friend
That’s the way it’s always been
You lean on me, I let you through
But I’m holdin’ on to you
In a way you’ll never see
You got all of me quietly
If this is where I’m meant to stay
I won’t turn away
[Verse 2]
You say he’s cool, yeah, he’s got that spark
I laugh along, play my part
But in the silence when you’re gone
I hear a different kind of song
You’re in my dreams most every night
Soft as shadows, warm as light
I wake up sayin’ your name out loud
Then I lose you in the crowd
[Chorus]
‘Cause I know I’m just your friend
That’s the road I’m walkin’ in
You trust me with your heart so true
While mine’s breakin’ over you
Still I stay where you can lean
Somewhere in between the seams
If this is all I get to do
I’ll be here for you
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wonder if you ever see
The way your words get caught in me
Like every laugh just leaves a mark
A little light inside the dark
You reach for me without a doubt
When things with him are wearin’ out
And I’m the place you always land
But never where you stand
[Chorus]
Oh, I know I’m just your friend
Still I’m here time and again
Every call, I come on through
Like it’s all I’m meant to do
You don’t see the lines I cross
Or the quiet weight I’ve lost
But I’ll carry it somehow
Same as now
[Bridge]
Maybe someday, maybe not
Maybe love’s a quiet thought
That never finds the light of day
But never really fades away
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I know I’m just your friend
And I won’t pretend again
That I don’t wish for somethin’ more
Every time you walk that door
But if lovin’ you means this
Just a half-forgotten wish
Then I’ll take what I can hold
Even in the cold
[Outro]
We walk to class like we always do
You smile at me… like I’m just you
