Just Mates

04:50 bagels down on Brick Lane
We always seem to stay way too late
See you on Tuesdays when you finish your shift
Just drinkin' Brewdogs and chatting shit, yeah

12:45 but we're unaware
Static electric that time you touched my hair, yeah
We're at the Lexington with the usual crowd
But you're my favourite person to be around

If we're just mates, why does it hurt when you call me that?
We're just mates but my stomach flips when you text me back
If we're just mates, how come it feels like we're more than that?
If we're just mates? If we're just mates?

Why don't I care that I missed the bus?
I'll get an Uber, I guess it's not that much
Another round at the bar 'cause there's no queue
Yeah it's defo not just to spend more time with you

And all my friends think it's ironic
When I tell them, "It's just platonic"
Yeah, the Nile's not just a river in Egypt
I know you feel it

If we're just mates, why does it hurt when you call me that?
We're just mates but my stomach flips when you text me back
If we're just mates, how come it feels like we're more than that?
If we're just mates? If we're just mates?

If we're just mates, why does it hurt when you call me that?
We're just mates but I kinda feel like I got attached
We're just mates, how come it feels like we're more than that?
If we're just mates? If we're just mates?

And all my friends think it's ironic
When I tell them: It's just platonic (we're just mates)
And all my friends think it's ironic (we're just mates)
When I tell them
That we're just mates, why does it hurt when you call me that?
