Tate McRae – That Way lyrics

Tate McRae – That Way lyrics

[Verse 1]
Run me in circles like you always do
Mess with me on purpose, so I'll hang on to you

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what you mean when you act like that
But you don't know it's breaking my heart
Said that it was just never gonna happen
Then almost kissed me in the dark
Every time we talk, it just hurts so bad
'Cause I don't even know what we are
I don't even know where to start
But I can play the part

[Chorus]
We say we're friends, but I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause were fighting over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way

[Verse 2]
Can't even tell if I love or hate you more
You've got me addicted and I can't tell who's keeping score

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what you mean when you act like that
But you don't know it's breaking my heart
Said that it was just never gonna happen
Then almost kissed me in the dark
Every time we talk, it just hurts so bad
'Cause I don't even know what we are
I don't even know where to start
But I can play the part

[Chorus]
We say we're friends, but I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause were fighting over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way

[Refrain]
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Mm, hey

[Chorus]
We say we're friends, but I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause were fighting over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way

It's about mixed signals. "Run me in circles like you always do" The guy is acting like he likes her one minute then saying that they're just friends the next so she's always confused about what he wants. "Mess with me on purpose so I'll hang on to you" He does things to make her more attached to her but he's not serious, he's messing around with her feelings. Pre-chorus: She knows what he's doing that he's messing with her feelings but he doesn't realize how much it's affecting her. He tells her they'll never be more than friends but he makes moves on her. It hurts because she doesn't know if they're friends or more than friends but she can keep playing at being friends.
Chorus: They both say they're friends but she keeps catching him staring at her. And they're fighting about who is blurring the lines of their friendship. But she's saying even though he insists they're friends, they are not acting like just friends.

This song is about how the person she likes is like playing her. He says that they are just friends but he makes moves like it says 'almost kissed me in the dark'. She also says how he stares at her for some time and that 'Friends dont look at friends that way.' They keep fighting because she's confused about their relationship with each other and if it's serious or just staying as friends with out any romance towards each other. She also says 'I can play the part' meaning she can play the part as going along with whatever he is doing or being the girlfriend/boyfriend.
