I've been oversleeping so much that I've been bored
Of dreaming and just wake up, not next to you
In this paper town where I live, boxes pass along
And I wish that I was sitting in one with you
With you

I will be your friend, but love you in my soul
I'll never feel another way, just thought I'd let you know
You've knocked me to the floor
Since the moment I saw you
Every minute, every hour, if you'll have me, I want you

You've been overthinking so much the traffic in your head
Oh, they rush at the thought of someone new
Lauren, why can't you accept it?
I love you and I'm not pretending
when I say those words to you

I will be your friend, but love you in my soul
I'll never feel another way, just thought I'd let you know
You've knocked me to the floor
Since the moment I saw you
Every minute, every hour, if you'll have me, I want you
Lo!

If I learn to love myself
will it keep you from loving someone else?
(I don't know)
(I don't know)
(I don't know)
If learning to love would cost my life
I'd spend it all on you and I

I will be your friend, but love you in my soul
I'll never feel another way, just thought I'd let you know
You've knocked me to the floor
Since the moment I saw you
Every minute, every hour, if you'll have me, I want you
