Someday.

I was so exhausted last night when I got in bed, but somehow managed to write this one before my eyes closed. It’s not about anyone specific (a first for me, it seems…), and more of a worst-case scenario song, I suppose. Oh, the dreaded friend-zone. Have you been there, friends? Again, I’m trying to get tighter with my writing without losing that burst of creativity. xoxo

On this gloomy Wednesday afternoon, there’s so much I want to say
But what if my words scare you away?
‘Cause it’s so hard to just be your friend
Put on that fake smile and pretend
That she’s not everything I want us to be

Your laugh, it’s beautiful
Like a comforting melody filling the room
And the way your eyes linger on mine
It makes it so hard to play it cool
Oh, and sometimes I wish you knew
That when you talk about her as we’re walking in the rain
I’ll just listen, yeah, it’s all okay
Because I know they’ll come a time, baby, when you realize
You’re really talking about our someday

And, oh, you’re some kind of addictive
I just want to breathe all of you in
Like I just can’t get enough
And, oh, you have no clue what you’re doing
Making me fall in love with you
Never felt this kind of rush

Your laugh, it’s beautiful
Like a comforting melody filling the room
And the way your eyes linger on mine
It makes it so hard to play it cool
Oh, and sometimes I wish you knew
That when you talk about her as we’re walking in the rain
I’ll just listen, yeah, it’s all okay
Because I know they’ll come a time, baby, when you realize
You’re really talking about our someday

I try so hard not to be so awkward
But end up tripping over all my words
You never seem to notice
Talking to you, it’s such an easy thing to do
You’ve sparked every sense within me
If only I could live forever in this moment…

Your laugh, it’s beautiful
Like a comforting melody filling the room
And the way your eyes linger on mine
It makes it so hard to play it cool
Oh, and sometimes I wish you knew
That when you talk about her as we’re walking in the rain
I’ll just listen, yeah, it’s all okay
Because I know they’ll come a time, baby, when you realize
You’re really talking about our someday

Your laugh, it’s beautiful
Like a comforting melody filling the room
And the way your eyes linger on mine
It makes it so hard to play it cool
Oh, and sometimes I wish you knew
That when you talk about her as we’re walking in the rain
I’ll just listen, yeah, it’s all okay
Because I know they’ll come a time, baby, when you realize
You’re really talking about our someday…
