We're sitting on your porch
We're just two friends on the edge of more
I wanna shout it, but I'm feeling torn
So I'll just sing the words that come up short
Your gears are turning as your fingers play
Your eyes are distant, you won't look my way
You ask me, "Can I ask you something?"
My heart skips a beat and I nod okay
I've pushed my feelings down
But you came into my life
But tell me, should I stop?"
It's one a.m. we're underneath the stars
But baby, with you, my world can't be dark
Just kiss me 'til the night sky falls apart
Your gears are turning as our fingers lace
Your eyes are distant, you won't look my way
I gotta ask, "Darling, are you okay?"
You take my hand and instantly we change
But I haven't said I love you
And I don't want to stop"
You're standing at my door
And I don't know just what we're fighting for
I want to hug you, but I'm feeling torn
I thought you loved me, but now I'm not sure
Your gears are turning as your fingers stray
Your eyes are distant, you won't look my way
I know what's coming, I can read your face
Now I'm just holding onto empty space
But now our love has faltered
Oh no, it's not your fault
But I think we should stop"
But it hit me like a train
I should've held you more
Now we're an after-thought
But boy, I love you a lot
