lyrics

i don't know what happened,
lately i'm filled with the urge
to make you coffee every morning,
cook you dinner when you come home from work

make you a breakfast sandwich
cause you stayed the night again
maybe i should be more careful
or maybe this is the best kind of friend

i want you around
i like being near you
i know that you like being with me too
simple as that
i don't care what you call it
there is nothing more i need from you

i have to turn my phone off
when i go out with someone
the texts you send me crack me up
and then they always ask me where they're from

its strange to say you're just a friend
although i'm not sure why
cause technically it is the truth
implicitly it feels like a lie

i want you around
i like being near you
i know that you like being with me too
simple as that
i don't care what you call it
there is nothing more i need from you
put my head on your shoulder
you kinda take me hand
it doesn't feel cheating
because your girlfriend knows who i am

besides we've never crossed the line
we are both too good
you've never even kissed me,
we've just stood there, and wished that we could

i want you around
i like being near you
i know that you like being with me too
simple as that
i don't care what you call it
there is nothing more i need from you

whenever you're gone
I cannot stop thinking about how long I must wait til you come home
something is wrong
other girls get this obsessive I have always been happy alone
but I cannot stop staring at the clock
or hoping for a message on my phone
daydreaming 'bout the things we'll do
the next time I hang out with you
cause...

i want you around
i like being near you and I know that you like being with me too
simple as that
call it what you want to there is nothing more I need from you
oh, I am happy just being with you
