Almost More Than Friends

[Verse 1]
Late night on my sofa
You laughing at that show again
You pour my favorite soda
Know all my secrets
All my sins
Your shoulder is my shelter
You hold me when the day feels rough
I swear I feel you closer
Than any friend should ever touch
[Chorus]
I want a man so bad
And you feel like everything
Got my body calling you
But my heart still remembers things
I wanna make love (so bad)
But my trust keeps pulling strings
So I keep it cool
Keep it calm
While we’re almost more than friends
[Verse 2]
You text me “did you eat yet?”
You know I always skip my meals
You notice when I’m quiet
You read the things I never spill
Your hoodie on my body
I’m breathing in your laundry soap
Your hand brushing my fingers
Sparks turning into something close
[Chorus]
I want a man so bad
And you feel like everything
Got my body calling you
But my heart still remembers things
I wanna make love (so bad)
But my trust keeps pulling strings
So I keep it cool
Keep it calm
While we’re almost more than friends
[Bridge]
If I let you in my bed
Will you stay inside my life?
If I give you all this skin
Will you hold the girl inside?
’Cause I crave you in the dark
But I guard you in the light
Trying not to lose the one
Who already treats me right (yeah)
[Chorus]
I want a man so bad
And you feel like everything
Got my body calling you
But my past keeps whispering
I wanna make love (so bad)
Let you kiss away these fears
So I take it slow
Take your hand
While our friendship pulls us near
[Outro]
So I take it slow
Take your hand
’Cause you’re almost more than friends (oh yeah)
If you’re patient with my heart
I might let you all the way in

Silky midtempo R&B groove, female vocals. Warm Rhodes chords, soft sub bass, and tight rimshot drums set a slow sway. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal and airy pads; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, subtle backing “mm”s, and a gentle octave guitar line. Bridge strips down to Rhodes and vocal before a final, lush chorus ad-libbed into a smooth fade., r&b, smooth
