More Than a Friend
the door is closed but you still make the time
you drop lots of hints but won't speak your mind
the ceiling fan hums as it does its spin
we're back to the start...back where we began
you sing a cappella and I pick up the tune
but the moment is lost and it's over too soon
we pick different partners and hit the dance floor
we've minutes to play and I'm keeping the score
I want more than a friend--someone to stick around
the smile on your face gets replaced by a frown
you whisper in my ear as light fades from the day
I put words in your mouth that you'll never say
you'd walk a mile to see how far I'll go
never asking the questions that most want to know
we run the race but neither one of us wins
the water now stagnant underneath the bridge
