Falling in love with your best friend

i heard a song once
about falling in love with your best friend
i'd give about anything to hear that song again

last summer i was
singing along with my favorite band
every word they'd scream was neon green

i already knew i'd fallen apart
but that was the first time i'd noticed
that i was slowly but surely coming back together

i heard a song once
broke my heart on the drive back to michigan
coming slow through lancing at 3 am

pulled into the driveway
let the car run
i've been gone
for way too long

and i wanted to call you
or just show up at your house or something
even though i knew it wouldnt make me feel any better

last summer i was
trying not to fall in love with anyone
because there's way too much work to get done

last summer i was
living down in bloomington
it had been so long since i felt young,
maybe i was just running away

as if it's just a bad thing
to try
and make my life better

i heard a song once
about falling in love with your best friend
i'd give about anything, to hear that song again
