Less Than Lovers
Paper-Thin Bonds: Navigating Love Beyond Limits
Lyrics
I hear you calling me your best friend?
The speaker questions being referred to as the listener's best friend.
If so, it ain't the messages your sending
The speaker feels the listener's actions or communication don't match the label of "best friend."
Was I any of those things you used to call me?
The speaker wonders if they previously embodied the qualities or traits the listener used to associate with them.
Were we so paper thin?
Questioning whether their relationship was superficial or lacking depth.
Less than lovers, more than friends
Describing a relationship status between romantic partners that is more than friendship but less than lovers.
Less than perfect, more than what we had intended
Acknowledging imperfections in the relationship that exceed their initial intentions.
Less than lovers, more than friends
Reiterating the status of their relationship being beyond friendship but not quite reaching the level of romantic love.
Although some day we're bound to end...
Expressing an inevitable end to the relationship, despite the current situation.
Was I one of those things you believed in?
Questioning if the speaker was a belief or aspiration for the listener.
What we were and what we are sounds so distant
Highlighting the stark contrast between their past and present selves, indicating a significant distance.
From best friend to lovers
Reflecting on the transition from being best friends to romantic partners.
One kiss led to another
Describing the progression of their relationship from one intimate moment to the next.
Now strangers to each other
Expressing that they've become unfamiliar or distant to each other despite their history.
We are so paper thin...
Comparing their relationship to something fragile or easily torn apart.
Less than lovers, more than friends
Reiterating the relationship status as being beyond friendship but not quite reaching romantic love.
Less than perfect, more than what we had intended
Recognizing that their relationship has exceeded the initial intentions but remains imperfect.
Less than lovers, more than friends
Restating the nature of their relationship as more than friendship but less than lovers.
Although some day we're bound to end...
Reaffirming the eventual termination of their relationship.
If you need someone
Offering reassurance and support, indicating willingness to be there for the listener as a dependable friend.

-If you need a friend
