[Verse 1: Scott Borel]
You're a pink rose in the rain
The way you're always
Turning 'round my day
When you are away
The butterflies you bring
They always stay
[Pre-Chorus: Scott Borel]
Oh, oh
Don't wanna rock the boat
But I can't help
That you feel like home
[Chorus: Scott Borel]
There I go, once again
Catching feelings for a friend
Take my hand, break this trend
So I don't have to pretend
That I'm okay
Being just a friend
[Verse 2: Sara Bares]
I don't know if you know this
I never liked cologne
'Til you wore it
And you smell like
Sweet summer madness
If I gave you my heart
Would you have it
[Pre-Chorus: Sara Bares]
Oh, oh
Or would you tell me
Don't go down that road
[Chorus: Sara Bares & Scott Borel]
Therе I go, once again
Catching feelings for a friend
Take my hand, brеak this trend
So I don't have to pretend
That I'm okay
Being just a friend
[Bridge]
Hey, hey
Hey, I'm calling just to say
You first, no you
Okay, I'm afraid to say this
'Cause I don't know how you'll take it
Wait, I feel the same way, so I know you're gonna say
[Chorus: Sara Bares & Scott Borel]
There I go, once again
Catching feelings for a friend
Take my hand, break this trend
So I don't have to pretend
That I'm okay
Being just a friend
I'm not okay
Being just your friend
