Late-Night Rules

You call when the moon stays low

I already know the code

No big talk, no big plans

Just you on my couch again

Your shirt on the chair by the door

Same laugh I heard before

We keep it light, keep it close

Act like we both don’t know

We never say too much

Still, I feel your touch

Same game every time

Same look, same line

Best friend with benefits

(benefits, benefits)

We keep it dangerous

But we call it easy

Best friend with benefits

(benefits, benefits)

You know what this is

And you still come see me

Morning hits, you slip away

Leave your socks by the bed

I don’t ask where you slept

You don’t ask what I meant

We trade jokes like alibis

Hide the truth behind our eyes

When the room goes quiet enough

That’s when it almost feels like love

We never say too much

Still, I feel your touch

Same game every time

Same look, same line

Best friend with benefits

(benefits, benefits)

We keep it dangerous

But we call it easy

Best friend with benefits

(benefits, benefits)

You know what this is

And you still come see me

Maybe that’s the price we pay

For wanting it this way

No promises to break

Just a little more to take

Best friend with benefits

(benefits, benefits)

We keep it dangerous

But we call it easy

Best friend with benefits

(benefits, benefits)

You know what this is

And you still come see me
