Closing time, you take off your jumper
Home and dry, feels like better weather
But then I can't string words together
Tongue-tied forever
I was better at this when I was seventeen
I would be making the move, the way you're looking at me
Now we're writing a song on your bedroom floor
And people are calling you just ignore them all, oh
I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a bit of self-confidence
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'd write it out a million times
But then I get scared to send
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back
Hanging on every word that you say
Play your songs, play the one we just made
Long slow nights, warm white wine and mind games
I don't want us to change
I was better at this when I was twenty-one
The way you're looking at me like we're already in love
Now we're filling our drinks on your bedroom floor
People are calling you just ignore them all, oh
I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a bit of self-confidence
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'd write it out a million times
But then I get scared to send
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you (I gotta lie)
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back
I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a little self-confidence
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
