More Than Friends
By City Life-Henry Walker
My heartbeat stumbles every time you come around, Your smile hits deeper than I ever let out loud. And I’m stuck in this quiet, careful place, Watching you chase love that never seems to stay. You call me your safe place, say I’m such a good friend, But every time you say it, I break a little again. I’m holding back the truth I’ve been dying to send, Praying someday you’ll feel it.
[Pre‑Chorus]
How long ’til you see I wanna be more than friends.
[Chorus]
I can’t stop dreaming ’bout the day that I hold you, The day that I touch you, the day that I kiss you, The moment we finally become who we’re meant to be. I’m counting down the time ’Til we’re more than friends.
[Verse 2]
Another night, another guy who lets you fall, And I’m right there catching pieces through it all. Still hoping someday you’ll turn around and see No one’s ever gonna love you quite like me. How do I break through this friend zone line, What do you not feel when you look in my eyes? Give me just one chance, girl—give me the time— Let me show you what love feels like.
[Pre-Chorus]
How long ’til you see I wanna be more than friends.
[Chorus]
I can’t stop dreaming ’bout the day that I hold you, The day that I touch you, the day that I kiss you, The moment we finally become who we’re meant to be. I’m counting down the time ’Til we’re more than friends.
[Verse 3]
Every hope I’ve hidden starts to rise again, When you lean your head on me like it’s effortless. And I wonder if you feel that spark you never name, If you’re scared to lose the comfort but craving the change. I’m trying not to rush what’s meant to unfold, But it’s getting harder keeping all these feelings controlled. If you ever let your heart slip out of the friend role, You’d see we’re already halfway there.
[Pre-Chorus]
How long ’til you see I wanna be more than friends.
[Chorus]
I can’t stop dreaming ’bout the day that I hold you, The day that I touch you, the day that I kiss you, The moment we finally become who we’re meant to be. I’m counting down the time ’Til we’re more than friends.
[Post-Chorus]
More than friends, more than friends, Say you want me like I want you again. More than friends, more than friends— Tell me when… tell me when.
[Outro]
Maybe one day you’ll feel the shift, Hear the truth in every word I’ve missed. If you ever reach for me in the dark, I’ll be right there, open arms, open heart. ’Cause I’ve loved you quietly, waiting for the moment when You finally see we’re meant for more… More than friends.
