They say that it hits you
When you least expect it
And it hit me like a trailer truck
I've known her since December
I should have noticed when her
Number started to taste like rum
I push her name against my lips
Roll the idea of us through my fingertips
We're just friends
Kissing just for practice
Like an actor and an actress
Pretending we are only
Just friends
Rolling 'round on a mattress
Like an actor and an actress
Pretending we are only just friends
Friends, no
We skip around the topic
In the bedroom, she's dancing topless
We're stumbling, spinning trampolines
I wreck my lungs to breathe her in
"This bad for us," she says
As she drenches my bedsheets in gasoline
I push my name against her lips
Roll the idea of us through her fingertips
We're just friends
Kissing just for practice
Like an actor and an actress
Pretending we are only
Just friends
Rolling 'round on a mattress
Like an actor and an actress
Pretending we are only just friends
Friends, no
We blur the boundaries on our map
Like old-time cartograph
The frontline shift, the troops retreat again
What if we break what we once had
The stasis is a tent, the treaty is broken
Well now I feel I might not be cut out to say we're
Just friends
Kissing just for practice
Like an actor and an actress
Pretending we are only
Just friends
Rolling 'round on a mattress
Like an actor and an actress
Pretending we are only just friends
Friends, no
