It's 1:15 and I'm playing Blackjack all night long
Stuck with the computer on my favorite song
wondering where I'll be tomorrow
why I've got no one tonight
as I lose yet another round to a stupid Queen
I hate this game
hate this life
wonder why you've not stopped by in
quite a while, it's been
quite a while and I
wonder if you noticed my blushes when I
looked at you, saw you again
did I imagine it or were you uncomfortable too
my imagination is running wild
I can't hardly control myself
can't hardly control it myself but...
It's 1:15 and it's been too long, been too long
since you stopped by for a game of cards
wonder if you'll show up tonight but it's
just another fantasy of mine
yet another fantasy of mine
when did this change begin? don't even remember
we used to be really just friends
just friends and nothing more
but that night we danced till four
and something changed, something happened
and I don't even remember
Nothing physical, something clicked and now we're afraid
so afraid
but I want you to stop by tonight, hold me, tell me it's all right
that we'll fix it somehow but
my driveway's empty and I'm losing to my computer
again
and I've heard this stupid song a million times
reminds me of you, in an odd weird way
and I need you, crave you like some physical addiction
never used to be this way
these are the symptoms of love, but this can't be love
after all, we're nothing but friends
best friends forever, we swore years ago
when our first heartbreaks walked out the door together
and we were left in the dust, we swore it forever
just friends, I promised myself that night
Now I'm breaking my promises, hating myself
hating the world, hate this machine
I need you, crave you but I know I can't
It's more than a promise, it's all that stands between us
Us
and everything else
and what would everyone else say? They would laugh
but why do I care? Why am I trying to trick myself? but I
can't be with you tonight, cause we're only friends
we swore a promise and it's more than a promise
stands between us--there is no us
only You, and Me
Seperate - no u or s in you and me
And I overbid again, in the hole sixty points,
losing to a supid queen, obnoxious queen
kick the machine
it breaks--again
but you're not here to fix it this time
probably never will be, and I'm sitting alone
everyone else is asleep, cause it's 1:15 in the morning
but I can't even close my eyes and
I need you more than air
I'm suffocating, dying, unable to breathe
and I'm stifling here slowly without you but
I'm not allowed to breathe, cause breathing is the most horrible thing
why do I want so much to destroy everything
that we worked so hard for--worked for 17 years to build?
There's a light in my window at 1:15 AM
and I'm hoping you'll see it but you can't, you can't
we worked too hard on a friendship to ruin it now
it's just a crush, anyhow
It'll pass, it has to, it has to
cause I'm dying without you and it won't go away
this terrible ache in my heart...
