Say You Love Me

"Close the door," he says "This'll only be a minute" But sometimes minutes can get Caught in suspension "I finally figured it out And you're that someone Who knows a little more Than something about me." He says, "I met this girl out in Palm Springs Man, she's the best! You'd be so happy for me!" And it hits me hard Seeing this blue-eyed dream sprouting wings And flying away from me Flying away from me, yeah What if I say you love me? Could I make it true? We could build us something That would mean something to you 'Cause when I close my eyes I'm in this world where you don't have a girl And I'm right by your side Say you love me It don't mean that I'll ever have you Oh, no So we're driving home I look out at the rain on the roads out my Passenger window It's been one of those nights It all feels so alive Man, you bet, I'm going to hate saying goodbye He pulls up on my driveway Says, "See you on Friday" If he only knew what I'd do to be The rain on his coat Those keys that he holds Or the one he has waiting back home What if I say you love me? Could I make it true? We could build us something That would mean something to you 'Cause when I close my eyes I'm in this world where you don't have a girl And I'm right by your side Say you love me It don't mean that I'll ever have you I'm not going to lie A stubborn part of me keeps the hope alive That someday I'll be yours and you'll be mine But then I know you'll never understand So to keep from losing my best friend I hold it all inside Say you love me We could build us something What if I say you love me? Could I make it true? We could build us something That would mean something to you 'Cause when I close my eyes I'm in this world where you don't have a girl And I'm right by your side Say you love me But if I say you love me It don't mean that I'll ever have you Oh, no
