Friend Zone
Yearning Nights: Escaping the Friend Zone
Lyrics
Can you feel it
Expressing the presence of a tangible emotion
Yeah
Acknowledgment and affirmation of the feeling
Feel the energy between us two
Sensing a special connection between the speaker and someone else
I can’t fight it
Admitting inability to resist the feeling
No
Confirmation of the difficulty in resisting
Will we ever be more than friends
Raising the question of transitioning from friendship to romance
In love before
Recalling past experiences of being in love
And I know that we
Reflecting on a shared history, acknowledging a past relationship
Know that we
-Know we
-Had our time
-But honestly tonight you look so fine
Complimenting the attractiveness of the other person tonight
And I know that you
Acknowledging the awareness that a romantic relationship may not happen
Know that you
-Know you won’t be mine
-But let’s not be alone tonight
Expressing a desire not to be alone tonight
I wanna forget about the times
Recalling past difficulties and longing for a different outcome
The forty days and forty nights
-When you said it was your time to go
-Now I’m staying up all night
-Praying to God to turn back time
-Takin it back days when there was no
Mentioning a time before being confined to the "Friend Zone"
Friend zone
Repeating the idea of being in the "Friend Zone"
Friend zone
-Wish that I had more of you
Expressing a wish for more in the relationship
Wish that gave more for you
-Friend zone
-Friend zone
-Wish that I had more of you
-Wish that gave more for you
-I can’t keep pretending
Expressing a desire for a romantic and lasting relationship
It won’t you and I tonight
-We’ll drive till the sunrise
-We’ll be together forever
-Say that I hate you never
-Baby we’re better together
Affirmation of compatibility and strength as a couple
And I know that we
Reflecting on the past and acknowledging the unlikelihood of a romantic future
Know that we
-Know we
-Had our time
-But honestly tonight you look so fine
-And I know that you
-Know that you
-Know you won’t be mine
-But let’s not be alone tonight
Expressing a desire to overcome past difficulties and go back in time
I wanna forget about the times
-The forty days and forty nights
-When you said it was your time to go
-Now I’m staying up all night
-Praying to God to turn back time
-Takin it back days when there was no
-Woah
Exclamation expressing a strong emotion
Friend zone
Repetition of the desire to escape the "Friend Zone"
Friend zone
-Wish that I had more of you
-Wish that gave more for you
-Woah
-Friend zone
-Wish that I had more of you
-Wish that gave more for you
-Woah
-Friend zone
Reiteration of the wish for more in the relationship
Wish that I had more of you
-Wish that gave more for you
