About the song
Sunday Eve formed in Bandung in 2023, with their ear turned to the British pop-rock of the 1960s, folded into indie rock with a soft, nostalgic edge. Close Friend is their debut single, and it sits in the quiet ache of loving someone who only ever offers friendship. The song moves the way that feeling does: longing first, then shame at wanting more, then something close to calm. By the end there is no confession and no walking away, only the choice to stay close on whatever terms are given. A small, honest song about being near someone and still far from them.

Lyrics
I will always love you
But I am ashamed of myself
I don't know what to do
I can't if I have to express it
How beautiful to be with you
But it's just an illusion
Please don't stay away from me
If you can give me love
I will accept your decision
Even if it's just a close friend
Every time I wake up
I always remember you
When I fell in front of you
I can't say anything at all
How beautiful to be with you
But it's just an illusion
How beautiful to be with you
But it's just an illusion
Please don't stay away from me
If you can give me love
I will accept your decision
Even if it's just a close friend
Please don't stay away from me (Don't stay away)
If you can give me love (Give me love)
I will accept your decision
Even if it's just a close friend
