more than a friend
Unrequited Rhythms: Longing Beyond Friendship
Lyrics
Every day it's getting harder to wait
Expressing impatience and increasing difficulty in waiting.
I'm watching from across the room but your smile it brings me home
Observing the person from a distance, finding comfort in their smile.
And your eyes they tell a jaded story
Noticing a sense of weariness or disillusionment in the person's eyes.
It's in the way you walk with a style that's all your own
Admiring the person's unique and confident way of walking.
I'm fucking up my words it's so depressing that it hurts to want you
Struggling to articulate feelings, feeling down about the desire for the person.
My heart is taking beatings I'm tired of retreating from the truth
Experiencing emotional pain and exhaustion from avoiding the truth.
Is there a way that I could get you to dance
Expressing a desire to dance with the person.
Then would you stay and take me up on a chance
Hoping for a positive response to taking a chance on a relationship.
And she said oh babe you've lost your head
The person implies the speaker is infatuated and not thinking clearly.
You know I never wanted to be more than your friend
Clarifying a preference to remain only as friends.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Reiteration of the desire for a platonic relationship.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Continued emphasis on the intention to be just friends.
And she said
Repeating the previous sentiment.
Out of frame I'm getting numb to the pain
Feeling emotionally detached and numb to pain.
I'm out here caught on a line waiting for your call
Waiting anxiously for a call from the person.
So I fake a subtle laugh and try
Pretending to be lighthearted and trying to make eye contact.
To look you in the eye
Attempting to connect with the person emotionally.
In the morning I could be your best mistake
Suggesting a willingness to be a memorable mistake for the person.
I'm holding out until you finally break
Holding out hope for the person to make a decisive move.
Is there a way that I could get you to dance
Repeating the desire to dance with the person.
Then would you stay and take me up on a chance
Asking again for a positive response to taking a chance on a relationship.
And she said oh babe you've lost your head
Reiteration of the person's belief that the speaker is not thinking clearly.
You know I never wanted to be more than your friend
Restating the preference for a platonic relationship.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Emphasizing once more the desire to remain only as friends.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Repeating the intention to be just friends.
And she said
Repeating the previous sentiment.
Is there a way that I could get you to dance
Reiterating the desire to dance with the person.
Then would you stay and take me up on a chance
Requesting once more a positive response to taking a chance on a relationship.
And she said oh babe you've lost your head
Restating the belief that the speaker is infatuated and not thinking clearly.
You know I never wanted to be more than your friend
Reiterating the preference to remain only as friends.
Is there a way that I could get you to dance
Repeating the desire to dance with the person.
Then would you stay and take me up on a chance
Asking again for a positive response to taking a chance on a relationship.
And she said oh babe you've lost your head
Reiteration of the belief that the speaker is not thinking clearly.
You know I never wanted to be more than your friend
Restating the preference for a platonic relationship.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Emphasizing once more the desire to remain only as friends.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Repeating the intention to be just friends.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Repeating the previous sentiment.
And she said I never wanted to be more than your friend
Final repetition of the preference to remain only as friends.
