You act like I am your brother
I've got that style down-pat, I wear that same sad hat
Did you want a brother?
While I do doubt that, it's nothing to frown at
Because you're like a sister
You could push me in the snow, and I'd still let it go
I've got actual sisters
and none of them know the me you know

You tend to keep it loose when it's us alone
but romantically it's tenser than a tin-can phone
My end is up, and your end is up
We've come close to kissing, but we've never kissed
like I tried to touch your face with a broken wrist
Now I'm face on floor; what's the reward for

chasing after you, chasing after you, and getting close
Chasing faster, but losing sight of you, "I got so close!"
I can't help myself; when you smile at me, my planet flattens
I can't make it happen anymore than you can make it happen

We almost made it happen
until my birthday thing, you wore that crazy chola outfit
But I let us dampen
You wouldn't speak to me, understandably
I never meant to hurt feelings
of my roommate's, or the girl that leaves me floored
But I feel like a ceiling
You could stare at me all day, and I'd just keep you safe

Then one day we got closer, that's just how it was
Watched a John Hugues movie and laid down, because
your bed was there; I wouldn't sleep elsewhere
You told me, if I wasn't in love with you,
that was on a list of things that I shouldn't do
But I was in love, that's the product of

Chasing after you, chasing after you, and getting close
Chasing faster, but losing sight of you, "I got so close!"
I can't help myself; your Target sheets felt just like satin
I can't make it happen anymore than you can make it happen

I said, "Eve I'm Adam
Take your sinful apple into pieces and let me at them"
I wanted to claim your heart so loud, the future hears it
Call it original sin, or truncated human spirit
Oh, I was so grateful to be near it
We almost made it happen
We almost made it happen
