Tiny Reasons

You save me the seat by the window at lunch Steal my fries, then deny every crumb You know how I take my coffee at noon And I know when you’re leaving the room too soon I laugh when you tell that same old joke But I watch your hands when you roll your sleeves up Everybody thinks we’re easy and close I’m trying not to let the secret show

If you knew what I was thinking Would you lean a little nearer? I keep finding tiny reasons To stay right here

I’ve got a crush on my best friend One little touch and I forget where we’ve been You say my name, I lose my cool Trying to play it safe while I’m wanting you If you feel it, don’t pretend Come a little closer, let the night begin I’ve got a crush, and it’s no use Keeping all this heat between me and you

You text “you up?” when the party winds down I tell you “maybe,” then put my phone down Three dots appear, then vanish again We’re both too careful for two good friends I know your tells, every pause, every grin You act so calm, but I see you give in Don’t make me spell out the obvious Your favorite person wants more than this

If you knew what I was thinking Would you lean a little nearer? I keep finding tiny reasons To stay right here

I’ve got a crush on my best friend One little touch and I forget where we’ve been You say my name, I lose my cool Trying to play it safe while I’m wanting you If you feel it, don’t pretend Come a little closer, let the night begin I’ve got a crush, and it’s no use Keeping all this heat between me and you

No more almost, no more maybe Tell me if you want to save me From another night of acting Like your hand is not distracting

I’ve got a crush on my best friend One little touch and I forget where we’ve been You say my name, I lose my cool No more playing safe, I’m admitting the truth If you feel it, don’t pretend Come a little closer, let the night begin I’ve got a crush, and it’s no use Keeping all this heat between me and you

Best friend, come closer Best friend, come closer I’ve got a crush on you
