Friendzone

Outside your frame. I know you don’t call by heart, Still I wait by the car. You fix my collar with a grin, Like I’m the safe place you’re in. You call me best friend again, like a bruise That won’t bend. I laugh it off, play it cool, but I’m Just standing there, fool. And I keep thinking maybe one look, Maybe one sign, maybe tonight. You lean in close then turn away, I’m ten feet off in the same frame. I’m outside your frame, outside your frame. You say my name, but it’s not the same. I’m close enough to feel the rain, Still outside your frame. Outside your frame. Outside your frame. Yeah, yeah, your jacket's hanging on my chair, Your voice still stings the air. I help you text him back, then swallow every Fact. You cry on my shoulder, hard, I hold the pieces scar by scar. And every time you drift my way, I lose my words, you drift away. And I keep thinking maybe one look, Maybe one sign, maybe tonight. You reach for me then let go fast, I’m first in line and nowhere at last. I’m outside your frame, Outside your frame. I’m close enough to feel the rain, Still outside your frame. Outside your frame. Outside your frame. Go slow, let the chips fall down. If I’m just your friend then I’m learning how. Outside your frame. Outside your frame. I loved you loud. You loved me safe.
