Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
[Chorus]
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 gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back
[Verse 3]
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
Don't want us to change
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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 gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
[Chorus]
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 gotta lie to you
I gotta lie
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
Yeah, a little self-confidence
So I, swear I'm in love with you
But I gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
