Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Best friends and lovers
Can't seem to draw the line between each other
What is defined means nothing to a brother
You just don't give a damn, that's why I think I love you
It's not fair, how easy I melt when you play with my hair
I ain't going nowhere, it's not right
I can't sleep without you anymore at night time
Not in this lifetime
[Chorus]
Love ain't never been so close, but so far away
Like your mind is telling you to just back off
And your heart says just stay
What's a love that doesn't keep you up all night and all day?
If it's not too late, yeah, you realise it one day
We can go to the movies, boy, maybe we could hang out, boy
Whatever you wanna do 'cause I'm down for it
I'm down for you
[Verse 2]
One day we're lovers, next day we're friends
Don't know where it begins or it ends
But let me tell you one thing going through a ****'s head
Most **** just scared
It feels too good to be true
Every time I'm with you
I'm ignoring what I'm next to, whoa
[Chorus]
'Cause love ain't never been so close, but so far away
It's like my mind is telling me to just back off
And my heart says just stay
Tell me, what's a love that doesn't keep you up all night and all day?
And if it's not too late, maybe I'll realize it one day
We can go to the movies, girl, maybe we could hang out, girl
We can go to the movies, boy, maybe we could hang out, boy
Whatever you wanna do, 'cause I'm down for it
I'm down for you, oh
[Bridge]
I'm down for you, baby
Babe, I'm down for you
Are you down for me? Yeah
Oh, I'm down for you
I'm down for you, oh
[Chorus]
Love ain't never been so close, but so far away
Like your mind is telling you to just back off
And your heart says just stay
What's a love that doesn't keep you up all night and all day?
If it's not too late, yeah, you realise it one day
[Outro]
And when I'm ready, baby
Maybe it won't be too late
It won't be too late
Maybe it will
Maybe one day, you find some guy that won't treat you like I will
One day, one day, yeah
Better choose up, better hurry up
Time keeps ticking, but you're my lover
