lyrics

Driving late, along the riverside
Listen close, while you spill your heart
I’ll say again and again, he ain’t worth your time
I know your love is out there, he’ll treat you right

Holding hands, during the horror flick
Drive in’s packed, but all I see is you
Of course, just as friends, we share a blanket
We’ll help each other find love, that’s just what we do

And when I felt my heart race, told myself no, it’s nothing, be calm
And yeah, we’d often embrace, but she’d never be blushing at all

We could never be, because we’ve never been
How could we risk what we’ve got, we’re the best of friends
We could never be, because we’ve never been
That’s not the script we’ve etched, we’re only friends

You know I always said I want the best for you
She said, “now you can write your own half of the script.”
I saw the photos in color, in black and white
I could see it in your eyes, the best day of your life
And when the rice was thrown and all your guests had gone
Wish I had burnt that script and we’d written our own

And when I felt my heart race, told myself no, it’s nothing, be calm
And yeah, we’d often embrace, but she’d never be blushing at all
If I had a half a lifetime, to rewrite the text I would
Cause I know deep down you feel the same way, or at least you could have
