It doesn't need to be forever
I just hope she stays the night
And wears a T-shirt from my dresser
And plays the music that she likes
It doesn't need to be forever
But I hope that we can still be friends
When it ends
And I won't tie us both together
We're too busy anyway
But I like when she brings me flowers
And tells me all about her day
She smells like coffee and fresh laundry
But when it inevitably ends (ahh)
I hope we can be friends
And I won't curse the day that we first met
And I won't talk about you on the internet
When someone asks, I'll say that you're my favorite ex
I hope we can be
When we're sitting there together
I can see it in your eyes
I can't give you what you need
I'm always running out of time
Some things aren't meant to be
We can't say we didn't try
I hope we can be friends
And I won't curse the day that we first met
And I won't talk about you on the internet
When someone asks, I'll say that you're my favorite ex
I hope we can be
And you won't slur my name all night at the bar
And you won't tell everyone that I broke your heart
'Cause you know that we're better now that we're apart
I hope we can be
And I won't stay up late wondering if I've done enough
And you won't check your phone worrying if you've said too much
It was good while it lasted, although we never fell in love
I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope
I hope that we can still be friends
I hope that we can be friends
It doesn't to be forever
I just hope she stays the night
