We know it's casual, it's cool, we're just
I don't want to lead you on
No, but the truth is I've grown fond, yeah
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me

I've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I just keep on dreaming
But it's cool 'cause we're just friends
Small talk on IM, just one more sentences
It's cool, we're just friends
If I had my way, we'd talk and talk all day, yeah
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
Till the end of time, till I'm on her mind, it'll happen
I've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I just keep on dreaming
But it's cool 'cause we're just friends
Thinking about how, we're gonna say our vows
It's cool we're just friends, she walks down the aisle
Seeing my face smile 'cause now, we're more than friends
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
Till the end of time, till I'm on your mind, it'll happen, oh
We've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I just keep on dreaming
Just keep on thinking about when we used to be just friends
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la)
When we used to be, when we used to be
(La, la, la, la)
