This song is about having a crush on a friend, and disliking the feeling. Isabel first teased this song on TikTok in March 2022, and it was released as the last song on her 2023 EP ‘Bad Luck Letting You Go’.
[Verse 1]
I'm on your close friends story but you're not on mine
And maybe we are close but I'm scared to cross that border line
You showed up in my dream last night
We were cruising down streets
My feet up on the dashboard of your passenger seat
I woke up different and I took it as a warning sign
[Verse 2]
These feelings feel like dying
Sixth grade bottle rocket flying
My brain's cruel way of trying to experiment
But falling out of friendship isn't a science
Falling in other ways is a ruthless virus
You're too within reach for me to be okay with it
[Chorus]
I'm on your closе friends story
But you're not on mine
I laugh at all your jokеs in real life and online
You play me like a new obsession or an old regret
I wish I could explain it but I can't yet
Still holding out hope for an antidote this time
[Verse 3]
These feelings feel like dying
Space ship gravity defying
My brain's cruel way of trying to experiment, mhh
But falling out of friendship isn't a science
What if I hit a replication crisis?
You're too within reach for me to be okay with it
[Bridge]
I wish I wasn't afraid of falling
I wish I wasn't afraid
Well I wish I didn't see you as often
I wish I knew what to say
I wish you wouldn't call me smart
I wish you wouldn't call at all
I wish when I was around you, I wasn't on my guard
Wish I could say that it's your fault
[Chorus]
I'm on your close friends story
But you're not on mine
I play innocent as if this ache's some kind of crime
And I'm sick to my stomach from the push and pull
Sick of thinking of you, sick of crying wolf
I'm done with low blows to my pride
[Outro]
I'm on your close friends story
But you're not on mine
And maybe we are close
But I'm scared to cross that border line
