Just as a Friend

Just as a Friend

I put on my jacket for the first time in a while

My father would insist on hat and scarf if I was still a child

In a week or month I'll miss the warmth and hate the cold

When I was ten I couldn't wait

Now I dread getting old

I've got to ask

Let me be bold

Is it true that in another life I would be yours?

Is it true that in another life you could be mine?

We missed the time, made up my mind, it's all alright, I'm more than fine

But it's cruel and now and then I still think about you

And you will claim you weren't running when you moved out to the coast

And I will claim that I don't love you

You're just the friend I like the most

I sit here smiling and pretend

I'm not jealous of the guy you met

While you hold my hand

 Just as a friend

Is it true and in another life I would be yours?

Is it true and in another life you could be mine?

We missed the time, made up my mind, it's all alright, I'm more than fine

But it's cruel and now and then I still think about you

About you

You're on my mind all the damn time

Is it true and in another life I would be yours?

Could be true and in another life you would be mine

We missed the time, made up my mind, it's all alright, I'm more than fine

But it's cruel

Now and then I still think about you

I still think about you

You're on my mind all the damn time

I sit there smiling and pretend

You don't hold my hand just as a friend

Just as a friend

And in another life I would be yours

And in another life you would be mine

We missed the time, made up my mind, it's all alright, , I'm more than fine

But it's cruel

Now and then I still think about you
