My Favorite Kind of Friend

[Verse 1]
You laugh before the punchline lands
I lose my place, you take my hand
The coffee cools beside the sink
We talk in loops and never think

You notice rain caught in my sleeve
The little things I never see
No grand design, no careful cue
The room makes sense when I'm with you

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't have to translate
Every crooked thought
You meet me at the doorway
Before I know I'm lost

[Chorus]
We click like gears in a paper machine
Bright little sparks in the in-between
You turn my maybe into a yes
I breathe out easy, you do the rest
We click, and the whole world falls in line
Your hand finds mine at the perfect time
No map, no proof, no need to pretend
I found my favorite kind of friend

[Verse 2]
We miss the train and call it luck
Buy two warm rolls from a corner truck
You draw a face on the receipt
I keep it folded in my jeans

The day can drag its heavy feet
Still you make a rhythm out of me
A sideways glance, a crooked grin
And suddenly I'm weightless again

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't have to translate
Every crooked thought
You meet me at the doorway
Before I know I'm lost

[Chorus]
We click like gears in a paper machine
Bright little sparks in the in-between
You turn my maybe into a yes
I breathe out easy, you do the rest
We click, and the whole world falls in line
Your hand finds mine at the perfect time
No map, no proof, no need to pretend
I found my favorite kind of friend

[Bridge]
If the room goes strange, stay near
We can make a language out of here
A raised eyebrow, a borrowed coat
A half-sung phrase caught in your throat

[Instrumental]

[Final Chorus]
We click like gears in a paper machine
Bright little sparks in the in-between
You turn my maybe into a yes
I breathe out easy, you do the rest
We click, and the whole world falls in line
Your hand finds mine at the perfect time
No map, no proof, no need to pretend
I found my favorite kind of friend

[Outro]
No map, no proof, no need to pretend
I found my favorite kind of friend
