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
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
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

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

But if you say you love me

It don't mean that I'll ever have you
Oh  no
