Verse 1

Screen door slams in the summer heat

You’re barefoot laughing out on the street

Said my name like you always do

Like it never meant more to you

We grew up on the same old road

Shared our secrets, carried the load

I was right there your whole life through

Never thought I’d fall for you

Pre-Chorus

But something changed, I don’t know when

Now I can’t just be your friend

Chorus

I’m falling for the girl next door

The one I’ve known forever more

Every smile, every glance

Feels like more than just a chance

And I don’t know what to do

‘Cause I might lose me and you

If I say what my heart’s been hiding

I’m in love with my best friend next door

Verse 2

Late night talks on your bedroom floor

You lean your head like times before

But now my heart won’t stay in place

Every time I see your face

You tell me ‘bout the guys you meet

I laugh it off, but it cuts deep

‘Cause they don’t know you like I do

They don’t see the real you

Pre-Chorus

I bite my tongue, I play it cool

But I’m breaking every rule

Chorus

I’m falling for the girl next door

The one I’ve known forever more

Every smile, every glance

Feels like more than just a chance

And I don’t know what to do

‘Cause I might lose me and you

If I say what my heart’s been hiding

I’m in love with my best friend next door

Bridge

If I cross that line, will you pull away?

Or were you feeling this the same?

Is it all in my head, or in your eyes?

Have we been love in disguise?

Final Chorus

I’m falling for the girl next door

But I don’t wanna hide it anymore

Every laugh, every tear

Made it all so crystal clear

Yeah, I’m risking everything

For the chance that you might feel the same

So here I am, no more pretending

I’m in love with my best friend next door
