[Verse 1] You send a good morning before the coffee starts I read it twice, pretending it won't shake my heart You talk about the Yankees, I talk about the Braves Then we lose an hour trading stories every day [Pre-Chorus] Your eyes turn blue when you laugh at something dumb Mine turn brown in the picture that you send along Everybody sees it, but we keep playing safe Like two runners watching home, afraid to make the break [Chorus] We're more than friends, but we haven't said the words Two stubborn hearts circling what we both deserve You wear blue eyes, I've got brown, but they meet the same Over box scores, inside jokes, and that daily email chain If love's a ball in the air, baby, let it fly You and me, one confession, crossing home tonight [Verse 2] You remember every detail I forget I told you I save your little jokes in a folder marked important, too We sit behind the dugout, sharing sunflower seeds You cheer when my team wins like it's your victory [Pre-Chorus] When the seventh-inning stretch pulls you close to me I can feel the answer hiding underneath Everybody sees it, and the whole crowd knows our name So why are we still standing at the edge of the game? [Chorus] We're more than friends, but we haven't said the words Two stubborn hearts circling what we both deserve You wear blue eyes, I've got brown, but they meet the same Over box scores, inside jokes, and that daily email chain If love's a ball in the air, baby, let it fly You and me, one confession, crossing home tonight [Bridge] Tomorrow morning, don't just write hello Tell me what your heart has been trying to show I'll type three little words, then hit send and wait You can meet me by the bleachers after the game [Final Chorus] We're more than friends, now we're finally saying words Two open hearts getting everything we deserve You wear blue eyes, I've got brown, and they meet the same In every little message, every ballpark game Love was a ball in the air, baby, now it's flying high You and me, one confession, crossing home tonight [Outro] Send me good morning, I'll send you mine Friends on paper, yours for all time
