Just Wanna Be Your Friend
Shapeshifting for Love: Unveiling the Depths of 'Just Wanna Be Your Friend'
Lyrics
I think my time is better spent with yours
I believe my time is better spent with you.
So I keep twisting and shapeshifting into someone I think you’d fall for
I am changing myself, trying to become someone you would be attracted to.
Speaking to you in metaphors
Communicating with you using figurative language and symbolism.
Using words I’d never say to make you think that I know more
Using words I wouldn't normally use to create a false impression of knowledge.
Than I do
Admitting that I may not know as much as I want you to believe.
Cover up my bruises
Concealing my emotional wounds.
Make it so confusing tryin to be next to you
Attempting to be close to you despite the confusion it causes.
I feel like I am losing every piece of me i knew
Feeling like I'm losing my true self in the process.
Just wanna be your friend
Expressing a desire to be friends with you.
Just wanna be your friend
Reiterating the wish to be your friend.
Think I like the way I feel with you
Enjoying the emotional connection I have with you.
Hoping one day we can laugh about a time it wasn’t true
Hoping that in the future, we can laugh about a time when our connection was different.
You fly higher than you think you do
Acknowledging your greatness or potential.
Reaching up as high as I can
Striving to reach your level, but finding it challenging.
Still can’t get to you
Despite my efforts, I can't get close to you.
Just wanna be your friend
Repeating the desire to be your friend.
Just wanna be your friend
Emphasizing the wish to be your friend.
Losing myself to be your friend
Acknowledging the sacrifice of losing my identity to be your friend.
Just wanna be your friend
Reiterating the desire to be your friend.
Who am I when I don’t want ya?
Questioning my identity when I'm not with you.
I forget who I am when I ain’t around ya
Forgetting who I am in your absence.
Who am I when I can’t see ya?
Questioning my identity when I can't see you.
I forget how to see the world when I can’t see ya
Forgetting how to perceive the world without your presence.
Been asking myself if you’re worth the weight
Contemplating if the effort to be with you is worthwhile.
Will I become someone you see?
Wondering if I will become someone you notice or appreciate.
Will I bend so far I break?
Concerned about bending so much for you that I might break.
Don't have enough of your time to waste
Not willing to waste any more of your time.
So I won’t wait
Deciding not to wait for something uncertain.
I won’t wait
Reaffirming the decision not to wait.
Just wanna be your friend
Expressing the desire to be your friend once again.
Just wanna be your friend
Reiterating the wish to be your friend.
Losing myself to be your friend
Acknowledging the sacrifice of losing my identity to be your friend.
Just wanna be your friend
Emphasizing the persistent desire to be your friend.
