This is one of my favorite of my songs, so I keep trying to make it better. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/just-friends Just Friends You are charged with the kind of motivation that always takes my breath away The day we met I sent you running through my heart Switching on the lights and turning darkness into day Locked in breathless emotion Swinging to the sound of your voice So anxious to know and desperate to show I'm not just one of the boys But I know as quickly as it begins the risk is coming it's hard to pretend Keep it to yourself Don't let on we're just friends I was captured by the same anticipation that always seems to follow you Hanging on to every word that passed your lips Enchanted by the style in every little thing you do It's just an illusion a dream that I made for you I'll keep it inside, hang on to my pride for dreams have a way of coming true And I know I can hear it coming and once it's said it's hard to pretend I don't want to hear it You don't have to share it Keep it to yourself Don't tell me we're just Friends don't give up their secrets Friends don't kiss in tha moonlight Friends don't put their thoughts away and hold onto each other in the middle of the night I don't want to hear it, I don't want to know Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just I don't want to hear it , I don't want to know Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just friends not just friends I don't want to be just friends No, not just friends **** Song Summary ********* Title: Just Friends File:Just Friends2.SGU Key=G , Tempo 130, Length (m:s)=2:57 91 bar intro, 1 bar chorus, from bar 92 to bar 92.
