yearning 4 u

{intimate finger-snaps and warm Rhodes chords} (hmmm-mm) (yeah,

yeah) {soft vinyl crackle}

We sit too close on your living room floor

Talking 'bout things that we've said before

You lay your head down

right on my chest

But we keep pretending we're just like the rest

How did we cross this invisible line?

(how did we?) I'm staying awake through the coldest hours

Staring at shadows, losing my power

Wanting you close but I'm playing it safe (playing it safe...) Stuck

in the middle of love and a friend

A beautiful circle that never can end I'm yearning for you when

the sun goes away

But we keep on hiding the words we should say

(oh,

we're stuck, yeah) {smooth snare hit and deep sub-bass drop} Morning light

comes and we reset the rules

Acting so casual, playing the fools

But

I feel your hand linger a second too long

Every sweet touch

feels like a song That we both know but we're scared to

sing out

Are we gonna break if we take the leap?

Or lose everything that we want to keep?

I can't live forever inside this gray zone

(no, I can't...)

{drums drop out, leaving only warm keys} Stuck in the middle of

love and a friend

A beautiful circle that never can end

I'm yearning for you when the sun goes away But we keep

on hiding the words we should say (oh,

we should say... yeah) {full band peak dynamics}

Just a friend...

Or something more? (hmmm,

yeah)

{music fades, leaving only soft fingersnaps

and a single Rhodes

chord}
