Intro](Mellow, filtered electric piano chords fade in)Yeah... haha.I mean, honestly?I had absolutely no clue.Check it, look.[Verse 1 - The Oblivious Best Friend]We were sitting on the counter, eating cold pizzaTalking 'bout your ex, how you're glad you don't see himYou were wearing my hoodie, looking five sizes too bigLaughing at some stupid joke that I just made up as a kidAnd I'm looking at you thinking, "Man, I've got the best friend"Never read between the lines, missed the signs you would sendLike the way you always stayed a little longer in my carOr the way you'd always ask me if I made it to the barI was blindfolded, walking through a goldmineThinking we were siblings, just killing the whole timeYou would fix my collar, tell me I should dress betterI just thought you hated that specific vintage sweaterTotal blindspot, completely in the darkWe could walk a million miles through the middle of the parkAnd I'd never catch the hint, never see the hidden spark.[Chorus - The Realization]Then you hit me with the "Hold up, let me tell you something"Heart skipping beats, now my chest is really thumpingYou said you like-liked me, more than just a brotherNow we're staring at each other like there isn't any other!Oh my god, wait, are you serious right now?I been dreaming 'bout this day but I didn't know howTo say it out loud, now the ceiling's coming downWe went from best friends to the talk of the town!(Yeah, we the talk of the town now!)[Verse 2 - Pure Excitement / The Shift]Hold on, back up, let me process the trackYou mean all those late nights when we stared at the macAnd you adjusted your hair, you were doing it for me?Man, I'm the dumbest guy in history, clearly!But I'm hype now, butterflies jumping in my stomachIf this feeling was a mountain, yeah, I'm standing on the summitI threw my hands in the air, hit a dance in the roomWe went from cloudy winter days to a beautiful bloomNo more hiding how I feel when you walk through the doorI don't have to play it cool like I did beforeI can hold your hand tight when we walk to the storeWe got the friendship foundation, now we building a floor!Like, damn—you actually like me?This is better than a championship ring from Nike.[Bridge - The New Vibe](Beat drops out to just smooth bass and snaps)No more "just friends" boundaries to crossWe took the friendship contract and we threw it in the sauceYou're my favorite person, now you're mine for realCan't even describe the crazy weight that I feelLifting off my shoulders...Yeah, the weather's getting warmer as we're getting older.[Chorus - The Realization]Then you hit me with the "Hold up, let me tell you something"Heart skipping beats, now my chest is really thumpingYou said you like-liked me, more than just a brotherNow we're staring at each other like there isn't any other!Oh my god, wait, are you serious right now?I been dreaming 'bout this day but I didn't know howTo say it out loud, now the ceiling's coming downWe went from best friends to the talk of the town![Outro]Yeah, the talk of the town.From shotgun rider to the one with the crown.I can't even stop smiling right now, for real.Best friend status... upgraded.(Synth chords fade out with a light hi-hat tap)
