Just Friends
Ally Barron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beat for something it can't have
Like its fallin' apart
And all it needs
Is me to put the pieces back
I watch you watchin' me
While your sittin' next to her
Even if it hurts
But I can't help it
All the feelings that you put me through
I know it's selfish
But I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
We're just friends
It's just not right
I'll just wait 'til the moments right
'Cause you're just you and I'm just me
I'm just wishin' that we could be
Just a little more than this
Just a little more than just friends
I know you feel the same
I know it when you make me laugh
'Cause I can see the red and it's in your cheeks
And now I'm blushin' back
But I can play it cool
I can try and wait this out
But even after all is said and done
You're still the one I dream about
But I can't help it
All the feelings that you put me through
I know it's selfish
But I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
We're just friends
It's just not right
I'll just wait 'til the moments right
'Cause you're just you and I'm just me
I'm just wishin' that we could be
Just a little more than this
Just a little more than just friends
We waited long enough
The moment's creepin' up
Even when we touch we know its love
Been waitin' for your lips
And now you're leanin' in
We were just friends this feels just right
It's like I've waited for my whole life
Me and you, the perfect we
Always wish that we could be
We were just friends this feels just right
It's like I've waited for my whole life
Me and you, the perfect we
Always wish that we could be
Just a little more of this
Just a little more than just friends
In the song "Just Friends", Ally Barron tells a story of unrequited love and the difficulties of maintaining a friendship when romantic feelings are present. The lyrics express the idea of wanting to be more than just friends with someone but being unable to because of circumstances. The song describes the mixed emotions and the sense of helplessness that come with being in this kind of situation. The singer acknowledges the feelings that her friend triggers within her and how hard it is to be around him knowing that she wants more. She describes the internal conflict between selfishness and the desire to support him as a friend. The chorus speaks to the hope of a potential future together, maybe just a little more than just friends.
Throughout the song, the singer’s emotions continuously shift as she navigates through her feelings of love, friendship, and loneliness. The lyrics are rich in imagery, particularly when she mentions blushing back when she sees him blush. The song is raw and authentic, capturing the complex emotions that arise in this kind of situation. At moments, the lyrics feel bittersweet as the singer knows there are limitations to what can be for the two of them, but the hope of something more is still there. There’s a sense of longing and difficulty in navigating a romantic relationship that may not be possible or worth the risk of losing a friendship.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell me does your heart
Do you have unrequited love?
Beat for something it can't have
Is your heart beating for someone you can't be with?
Like its fallin' apart
Is your heart breaking over this unfulfilled love?
And all it needs
Is there anything that could fix it?
Is me to put the pieces back
Could I be the one to mend your heart?
I watch you watchin' me
I see you looking at me
While your sittin' next to her
Even though you're sitting next to her
But I'm still gonna be the friend you need
I'll still be here for you as a friend
Even if it hurts
Even though it's tough for me
But I can't help it
I can't control my feelings
All the feelings that you put me through
All the emotions your actions cause in me
I know it's selfish
I know it's about me and not you
But I'm only me when I'm with you
I feel like I'm my true self when I'm around you
With you
That's just how it is when we're together
We're just friends
We're not in a romantic relationship
It's just not right
It doesn't feel appropriate or natural
I'll just wait 'til the moments right
I'll wait for the right time
'Cause you're just you and I'm just me
We're both unique individuals
I'm just wishin' that we could be
I'm hoping for something more
Just a little more than this
Something slightly more than a platonic friendship
I know you feel the same
I believe you have similar feelings
I know it when you make me laugh
I can sense it from the way you make me laugh
'Cause I can see the red and it's in your cheeks
I can see you blushing
And now I'm blushin' back
I'm also blushing in response
But I can play it cool
I can act composed and collected
I can try and wait this out
I can attempt to be patient
But even after all is said and done
Even if nothing changes in the end
You're still the one I dream about
You're the person I think about when I'm daydreaming
We waited long enough
We've been waiting for a while
The moment's creepin' up
The right time is approaching
Even when we touch we know its love
We can feel the love between us even just through touches
Been waitin' for your lips
I've been longing for your kisses
And now you're leanin' in
Now you're making a move towards me
We were just friends this feels just right
Although we were just friends before, this new development feels perfect
It's like I've waited for my whole life
This feels like something I've been waiting for forever
Me and you, the perfect we
We are perfect together
Always wish that we could be
I've always hoped for this kind of relationship
Just a little more of this
I want to experience more of this feeling
Just a little more than just friends
I want our relationship to be more than just friendship

@XthatXchickX
my best guy friend showed me this and i don’t know what to do i because i am still in a relationship but he also makes me feel like the most amazing person in the world i dont know what to do right now fml.
Update: i broke up with that boyfriend and looking back that relationship was very toxic. I am now happly dating my bestfriend for almost 1,5 years and i couldnt be happier. He still makes me feel like i am the most beautyfull and amazing woman.
(Sorry for broken english i am dutch)
Since someone asked update start 2021:
Still together with the best friend/boyfriend. Only our relationship is in rough water since he doenst want to get a job or work. So lets hope that changes this year.
