Borrowed Porch Swing

Lyrics

Verse 1
I know her laugh by heart
I know your key in the door
I’ve sat on that back porch swing
Since way before you were hers
She calls me her best old friend
Like that oughta settle me down
But every time she smiles my way
I lose a little ground

Pre-Chorus
I bite my tongue at supper
I keep my hands in my jeans
'Cause one look from her blue eyes
Turns good sense into dreams

Chorus
I’m in love with my best friend’s girl
That’s the truth I can’t erase
I keep it hid behind a grin
And a stubborn, foolin’ face
She’s got my heart by the sleeve
And I can’t let it show
I’m in love with my best friend’s girl
And I hate that you don’t know
(you don’t know)

Verse 2
He talks about the future
Like a house and two little kids
She laughs and leans right into him
Like that’s exactly how it is
I help him fix his old truck
I pass her the lemonade
Then I stare at the screen door
Till the whole damn day fades

Pre-Chorus
I should’ve walked away
The first time it turned to pain
But some roads you don’t take back
Once you’ve stood out in the rain

Chorus
I’m in love with my best friend’s girl
That’s the truth I can’t erase
I keep it hid behind a grin
And a stubborn, foolin’ face
She’s got my heart by the sleeve
And I can’t let it show
I’m in love with my best friend’s girl
And I hate that you don’t know
(you don’t know)

Bridge
If I was half the man I pretend to be
I’d leave tonight and let you both be free
But I’m still here, and the night air burns
With every word I never turn

Chorus
I’m in love with my best friend’s girl
That’s the truth I can’t erase
I keep it hid behind a grin
And a stubborn, foolin’ face
She’s got my heart by the sleeve
And I can’t let it show
I’m in love with my best friend’s girl
And I hate that you don’t know
(you don’t know)
