Friendship That Looks Like Love

#VERSE
Everyone at the party
Knew what was gonna happen
Kate’s eyes had the look
And so did his
A photograph of them
Would have “True Love” as the caption
They’d both get a perfect score
On the “Right for You?” Quiz
#PRE-CHORUS
But if you had asked them
They’d flat-out deny it
Swore they were just friends
Love? Ha! No desire to try it
#CHORUS
Friendship that looks like love
Friendship that looks like love
Doesn’t have to be more
Sometimes a friend is enough
Friendship that looks like love
#VERSE
They’d been laughing nonstop
Since the day they met
Two pranksters on the production line
In goggles and red safety vests
Cole grieved with Kate
When her grandpa died
She only made it through the funeral
Because Cole was at her side
When Cole had pneumonia
Kate was his nurse
Cole was about to ask her out
But Dave from shipping asked first
#PRE-CHORUS
But if you had asked Cole
If he were upset
He’d say, “Oh, we’re just friends
And Kate’s my best friend yet”
#CHORUS
Friendship that looks like love
Friendship that looks like love
Doesn’t have to be more
Sometimes a friend is enough
Friendship that looks like love
#BRIDGE
But hushed rumors at the party
Were spreading quickly
Dave was seen in Denny’s
Kissing forklift driver Vicki
The guys from the warehouse
Were placing bets on how much time
Before Cole and Kate were kissing
How many glasses of wine
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
But more wine didn’t push them
Over the edge
The party ended with Kate and Cole
At their homes in their own beds
Their laughter at work
Continued year after year
Cole never asked her out
Was it for friendship or fear?
Friendship or fear?
Friendship or fear?
It was never quite clear
#PRE-CHORUS
And if you had asked her
Kate just might have cried
She’d say, “I wished Cole were my partner
But I’m fine with a friend for life”
#CHORUS
Friendship that looks like love
Friendship that looks like love
Did the fear of vulnerability
Hold them as frozen flower buds
With just friendship that looks like love
#CHORUS
Friendship that looks like love
Friendship that looks like love
Doesn’t have to be more
Sometimes a friend is enough
Friendship that looks like love
