This is a strange development, I hide my feelings
And talk to you calmly
I pressed the phone to my ear so hard it hurt
I want to feel closer, closer to you, close to you

I still can't make that last step, you are my best friend
This love keeps overflowing in my heart, my love
Please notice, just a little, you are my best friend
This secret love that quietly mingles with everything, my 
love

I'm always acutely aware of this tension
You cut off our conversation, you're in a bad mood
Now a single word from you could change things
Hang on a minute, I'll just get my heart ready, chance 
for me

I'm getting close, I'm just your best friend
I can finally hear that small voice, for you
But those words are true, I'm just your best friend
Gently wrapped in you, a new beginning for me

I still can't make that last step, you are my best friend
This love keeps overflowing in my heart, my love
Those words are true, I'm just your best friend
Gently wrapped in you, a new beginning for me
