Today is Christmas Day

Slow-burn R&B about two “just friends” telling themselves it’s nothing when it’s definitely something. Little white lies, Pinocchio noses, hands that shake when they touch. Late-night song for anybody stuck in the almost.

You say, “I’m good,” but your eyes look tired,
Laugh a little hard like the room’s on fire.
Hand on my arm just a beat too long,
We call it nothing but it feels too strong.

You talk new plans and your weekend dates,
Smile on your lips but your heartbeat shakes.
I play along like I’m doin’ fine,
But every small joke hits the same old line.

We keep it light, we keep it low,
Smiles stay smooth while the noses grow.

White lies hangin’ in the air tonight,
Soft words hidin’ what we feel inside.
Say “it’s nothing,” but it cuts so high,
We’re both bleedin’ out in black and white.
If it’s just “hey” and it’s just “goodbye,”
Why do we shake when our hands collide?
We keep standin’ in this borrowed light,
Livin’ on white lies… white lies.

You say, “We’re friends,” when you take that seat,
Knee hits mine and you don’t move your feet.
You drop that joke that you know I love,
I fake a smile when it’s not enough.

Phone lights up but I let it ring,
No one else hits like this almost-thing.
You twist your ring when you meet my eyes,
Both of us hidin’ behind that smile.

We keep it light, we keep it low,
Smiles stay smooth while the noses grow.

White lies hangin’ in the air tonight,
Soft words hidin’ what we feel inside.
Say “it’s nothing,” but it cuts so high,
We’re both bleedin’ out in black and white.
If it’s just “hey” and it’s just “goodbye,”
Why do we shake when our hands collide?
We keep standin’ in this borrowed light,
Livin’ on white lies… white lies.

What if I said I still replay
Every little touch from yesterday?
What if you dropped that “just a friend”
And let this almost finally begin?

Are we really keepin’ each other safe,
Or just scared of what we’d really make?
All this almost, all this might—
We can’t live forever in this half-light.

White lies fallin’ from our lips tonight,
No more “I’m fine,” no “it’s all right.”
If it’s nothing, why’s my heart this loud
When I pull you in from the middle of the crowd?
Say my name and don’t disguise,
No more cover for these honest eyes.
Let the truth come floodin’ out inside—
Burn through these white lies… white lies.

You say, “No more,” and it sounds like “stay.”
