They don't cancel other plans

Have conversations with nothin' but their eyes

They don't hear each other's names and forget to concentrate

Hits a nerve and lights you up like dynamite

Friends don't call you in the middle of the night

Couldn't even tell ya why

They just felt like saying "hi"

Friends don't stand around, playing with their keys

Finding reasons not to leave

Trying to hide the chemistry

Drive a little too slow (slow)

Take the long way home (home)

Get a little too close (close)

We do but - but friends don't

They don't almost say "I love you"

When they're downtown somewhere, just a little drunk

They don't talk about the future and put each other in it

And get chills with every accidental touch

Friends don't call you in the middle of the night

Couldn't even tell ya why

They just felt like saying "hi"

Friends don't stand around, playing with their keys

Finding reasons not to leave

Trying to hide the chemistry

Drive a little too slow (slow)

Take the long way home (home)

Get a little too close (close)

We do but - but friends don't

I keep telling myself this might be nothing

(This might be nothing)

But one look in your eyes and, God, there's something

(There's something)

You can lie to me and say you don't

But I know you do, and I love you too

Friends don't call you in the middle of the night

Couldn't even tell ya why

They just felt like saying "hi"

Friends don't stand around, playing with their keys

Finding reasons not to leave

Trying to hide the chemistry

Drive a little too slow (slow)

Take the long way home (home)

Get a little too close (close)

We do but - but friends don't

Friends don't
