[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
