Maybe They're Just Really Good Friends
Deciphering the Depths of Platonic Bonds
Lyrics
Maybe they're just really good friends
Considering the possibility that they're simply close pals
But if not I guess I'll just pretend
Accepting the situation if it's different but choosing to feign ignorance
That she means no more than him to me
Stating that she's trying to believe their relationship holds no deeper significance than her own
After all they're only friends
Reiterating that their connection remains platonic
Maybe when he lies it's just because
Suggesting excuses for his lies, possibly to avoid overwhelming her with affection
He don't want to spoil me with love
Implying that genuine love might not spoil but rather challenge or unsettle
And I know it ain't real if it ain't rough
Implying that a rough or challenging relationship might signify authenticity
After all it's out of love
Asserting that tough love might be the essence of their bond
But sometimes I'll hear the ringing of the phone
Noticing reactions to incoming calls, suggesting possible signs of affection
And with his answer a sudden change in tone
Perceiving a change in demeanor upon answering the phone
A subtle smile through his voice I hear
Noting a subtle happiness in his voice
That drops down to a whisper when I near
His demeanor changes to a quieter tone when she's nearby
And suddenly I see it all so clearly
Understanding the situation more clearly due to observed behaviors
Maybe they're just really good friends
Repeating the initial consideration of their relationship
But if not I guess I'll just pretend
Echoing the idea of pretending if the reality differs
That she means no more than him to me
Restating the attempt to convince oneself of the insignificance of their connection
After all they're only friends
Reiterating the belief that their bond is merely friendly
