Act Like Nothing

V6

You know what’s crazy? We both know. We just never say it. Yeah... Keep it like that. Same room, same crew, same jokes all night, You across from me, I don't look twice. Least that's what it looks like from the outside, Whole time I'm reading every move from the side. You laugh, I laugh, probably too quick, Somebody asks what's up, I switch that quick. "Nah, we cool"—yeah, that's the script, Like I don't know exactly how your mood just switched. We leave at the same time, different doors, Wait five minutes, then we're talking some more. Funny how I got a hundred things to say, Till you're standing right there and they all go away. I could make this easy, tell you what's true, But what if saying it changes me and you? So I play it safe, let the moment pass— Another good night that I wish would've lasted. Why you always pull away When nobody's even looking? Why you got so much to say But you never really say it? You already know. Then why don't you show it? We act like nothing's going on, Like I don't feel it when you're gone. Like every look don't last too long, We act like nothing, nothing's wrong. If you feel it, don't say too much, Come a little closer, that's enough. Maybe we're scared of what this was— So we act like nothing's going on. Nothing going on. Then why you calling when you're alone? I don't know. Yeah, you know. Phone light glowing around 2:03, "Still awake?"—yeah, you know that's me. Type one thing then erase that line, Send "what you doing?" like it's casual every time. We talk about work, talk about friends, Anything except where the conversation ends. One little silence, both get weird, 'Cause the thing we don't say gets louder right here. And maybe I'm reading it all completely wrong, Maybe that's why I've been holding this long. But you don't look at everybody that way, Then turn around acting like nothing changed. I know the rules, I know the part: Keep that face straight, keep guard on the heart. But every time somebody gets close to you, I find out real quick what jealousy can do. Why you always pull away When nobody's even looking? Don't start. Why you got so much to say But you never really say it? Not here. Then where? We act like nothing's going on, Like I don't feel it when you're gone. Like every look don't last too long, We act like nothing, nothing's wrong. If you feel it, don't say too much, Come a little closer, that's enough. Maybe we're scared of what this was— So we act like nothing's going on. Nothing going on. Then why you calling when you're alone? I don't know. Yeah, you know. Maybe I don't need a name for this. Maybe I just need you honest. What if everything gets different? What if it already is? And if I say it— I might say it back. Don't make promises. I didn't. ...that's the problem. We act like nothing's going on, But we both know. Like I don't feel it when you're gone, Yeah, I know. Like every look don't last too long, We act like nothing, nothing's wrong. If you feel it, don't say too much, Come a little closer, that's enough. Maybe one day we'll call it love— Till then, nothing's going on. Same time tomorrow? You already know.
