We're just friends



We're talking to each other
We are under the covers
We're just chatting
Although it feels like we're lovers

We're not at the same place
Though it does not matter
We're just talking online
Yet it makes my heart scatter

You invite me over
It feels like a date
I reply with yes
You say it's too late

You say you were joking
I say I was pulling your leg
That I knew it was a joke
Yet my heart came down a peg

I'll always be your friend
Will never be your lover
Never like my dreams
Where we love each other

I'll see other girls with you
They're so damn at ease
Yet when I look at you
They go weak, my knees

I know we're just friends
We'll never be anything more
And hoping for the opposite
Would just be hoping for a fairy lore
