Suddenly I am creeping outside your bedroom window

The full moon has me thinking that I'm sorry while the wind blows

I've never quite seen the improper use of a friend zone

But that doesn't mean my heart should live in limbo

I breathe so hard, so deep that I break down when I speak

Sweat dripping down my face like when we made love and embraced

Although this is all my imagination, my sub-conscience running wild

But not wild enough like when I see your simple smile

You belong to me but you're with him instead

So please continue to lay there while I tuck you into bed

Your favorite color is Aqua blue

My favorite color's red

Like the devil in the details

This is all in my head
