Say You Love Me - Steve Grand

«Close the door,"he says

«This'll only be a minute»

But sometimes minutes can get

Caught in suspension

«I finally figured it out

And you’re that someone

Who knows a little more

Than something about me.»

He says, «I met this girl out in Palm Springs

Man, she’s the best!

You’d be so happy for me!»

And it hits me hard

Seeing this blue-eyed dream sprouting wings

And flying away from me Flying away from me, yeah

What if I say you love me?

Could I make it true?

We could build us something

That would mean something to you

Cause when I close my eyes

I’m in this world where you don’t have a girl

And I’m right by your side

Say you love me It don’t mean that I’ll ever have you

Oh, no So we’re driving home

I look out at the rain on the roads out my Passenger window

It’s been one of those nights

It all feels so alive

Man, you bet, I’m going to hate saying goodbye

He pulls up on my driveway

Says, «See you on Friday»

If he only knew what I’d do to be

The rain on his coat

Those keys that he holds

Or the one he has waiting back home

I’m not going to lie

A stubborn part of me keeps the hope alive

That someday I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine

And I know you’ll never understand

So to keep from losing my best friend

I hold it all inside

Say you love me We could build us something
