when i first laid eyes on you
i felt a flash of deja vu
without a drink to say i do
guess you're not the perfect sign

and though i'd see you once again
i knew that we would just be friends
it's too much work to say it now
it's a crush to pass the time
just to pass the time

and the dreams, they come again
we'll see you dancing with the Talking Heads
but you'll never know of this affliction
it's emotional addiction

you know i'll never make a move but it's ok
saw you crying for a broken heart but it's ok
but i'll still hold you close today
you know, in just a friend way

it's easy when you stand in line
i see your name right next to mine
how many words are in a smile?
i guess i'm not the flirting kind

all the other boys admire
the way you seem to light their fire
i know i'd never stand to win this fight
it's a crush to pass the time

and the dreams, they come again
we'll see you dancing with the Talking Heads
but you'll never know of this affliction
it's emotional addiction

you know i'll never make a move but it's ok
saw you crying for a broken heart but it's ok
but i'll still hold you close today
you know, in just a friend way
