[Verse 1] You text "I'm outside" I'm half ready Half a mess You kick shoes by my door Say "You look better underdressed" (okay) You steal my hoodie Call it "ours" and laugh again You say "If they don't get you I'll just stay your backup plan" [Pre-Chorus] You fall on my couch Feet in my lap Say "Imagine us old like that" I joke it away But my heart jumps tracks If you only knew that [Chorus] I'm your best friend Almost something more Standing right here in your favorite shirt You tell me secrets like it's nothing I swallow mine down Keep on bluffing You say "love's hard " I say "you'll find her" Bite my tongue till the feelings hurt 'Cause I'm your best friend Almost something more Almost told you at the door [Verse 2] We rate your matches You say "Swipe left She's not your style" I watch your profile Thinking "Wish that was me for a while" You fall asleep Halfway through our favorite show Head on my shoulder I press play and don't let you know [Pre-Chorus] Your hand in my hand Feels like a test You dream I rewrite the rest In some other world I'm not this scared In this one I'm just your [Chorus] Best friend Almost something more Standing right here in your favorite shirt You tell me secrets like it's nothing I swallow mine down Keep on bluffing You say "love's weird " I say "you'll find her" Bite my tongue till the feelings hurt 'Cause I'm your best friend Almost something more Almost told you on the floor [Bridge] What if I said it Would you pull away Would I lose the only you I get every day So I laugh it off Make another joke Hide a whole storm In a single "I'm okay" (I'm okay) [Chorus] I'm your best friend Almost something more Standing right here in your favorite shirt You tell me secrets like it's nothing I swallow mine down Keep on bluffing You say "love's hard " I say "you'll find her" When you're looking I'm right here first Still your best friend Almost something more Almost told you Almost told you at the door (oh) Almost told you at the door

pop, Bright modern pop with midtempo groove, palm-muted guitars and warm synth pads. Verses stay close and conversational, tight drums and soft bass; pre-chorus adds tom builds and airy pads.
