Girl Next Door

Four to twenty-one Started out on the back of the bus Small town situation Through it all together as they grew up You know how it goes Talking late and sharing all their clothes Stuck together, friends forever But she’s got a secret no one know And she’s out late again with her boyfriends While she’s back in her dorm thinking how it’s got to end, oh Close but never close enough Life of unrequited love Girl crush on the girl next door Never thought it’d become more Does she want her? Does she wanna be her? Butterflies each time she sees her smile But words can never form Will it ever become more? She casts her mind back Sixteen on a night she can’t forget Smiths playing in a smoky room The smell of cigarettes on her breath She looks into her eyes Something is saying that this feels right Lips grow closer, two bodies warmer But they never spoke about that night And she’s out late again with her boyfriends While she’s back in her dorm thinking how it’s got to end, oh Close but never close enough Life of unrequited love Girl crush on the girl next door Never thought it’d become more Does she want her? Does she wanna be her? Butterflies each time she sees her smile But words can never form Will it ever become more? And now it’s come time She walks through the door Just one line To see if there’s more And this time The words start to form She wants her, she needs her More than ever before Close but never close enough Life of unrequited love Girl crush on the girl next door Never thought it’d become more Does she want her? Does she wanna be her? Butterflies each time she sees her smile But the words have finally formed Guess it really could be something more
