"Tell Me We're Friends" lyrics

Tell me we're friends
You think I don't notice
I see your eyes on my lips
They betray you
Tell me we're friends
Holding my hand
Casually planning how this could be dating
Setting the rules so we can resist them
Pushing me back cos you're scared of mixed signals
But we're like the way that you walk down the street
You just can't help colliding with me

You thought I couldn't love you like I do
You infer I'm not certain about you
But the world's only a day to a housefly
So we've already lived for a lifetime

Tell me we're friends
Is that how you'd like it
When you look at me like I'm something you wished for
Tell me we're friends
At two in the morning
When we tell the stories of our favourite kisses
How many times will we rewrite this chapter
I don't think friends need to set all these boundaries
You change the rules like I change my guitar strings
But we both know how easy they break

You thought I couldn't love you like I do
You infer I'm not certain about you
But the world's only a day to a housefly
So we've already lived for a lifetime

Tell me we're friends
And I'm sure I'll believe you
Next time you're pulling me in at the airport
Tell me we're friends
Again when I leave you
With feelings like these, what do I need a friend for
