Just Good Friends

There's something I want to ask you
Before it's too late
It's been on my mind since the first time we met
It scares me now more, now there's more at stake
It seems we're so close, yet so far away

What would you do
If I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me?
Would you stand me in line?
What would you do
If I open up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who's wasting his time
Darling are we just good friends?

Could you turn me down gently?
Would I be out of order
If I declare my true feelings
Or do I act out the part?
Of the father confessor, of the shoulder to cry on
Well, we're always so close yet so far away

What would you do
If I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me
Darling, would you stand me in line?
What would you do
If I open up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who's wasting his time?
Darling are we just good friends?

Alright

Do I really need to ask you?
I'm sure that you know by now
Do we just play a game, where we try to pretend
That all that's between us is all that's between us
And all we can rely on is being just good friends?

What would you do
If I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me
Would you stand me in line?
What would you do
If I open up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who's wasting his time
Darling are we just good friends?

So are we left to chance meetings
Is that all we can depend on?
Resigned to raise glasses in anonymous cafes
Reciting our failures as if we really needed that proof of regret
Over what might have and what should have been
Darling, are we just good friends?

What would you do
If I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me?
Would you stand me in line?
What would you do
If I open up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who's wasting his time
Darling are we just good friends?
