Friend of Mine
Hard to even know what I'd say to you my baby
If you opened up and let me in
The amount of time that I've been spending with you lately
Have it in my mind, the pictures on your skin
And I swear to god I felt like this forever
It's been with me like the wind and the falling rain
My thoughts and eyes spend so much time together
What I wouldn't give to be with you again
You smile at me
And my whole world surrenders
When I walk away
I walk away
I walk away
Yea I walk away
Here I am playing the great pretender
Beside myself in this disguise
The girl you got is kind and sweet and slender
Ya, I can see it through your eyes
You smile at her
And my whole heart is yearning
While the flame is quietly burning
I want your love
So bad I'm about to lose my mind
I need your love
But you can't even be a friend of mine
An evening spell fades with the sunlight
But I just want you to stay
On my back with someone else who loves me
I can't help but sing this song to you
Someone else with no one else above me
Frankly I just don't know what to do
So here I am playing the great pretender
Rather unconvincingly
My thoughts and eyes spend so much time together
So much going on I wonder if you see
You call my name
It feels just like music
But I just want to hear you say
I want your love
So bad I'm about to lose my mind
I need your love
But you can't even be a friend of mine
I want your love
I need your love
I want your love
I need your love
If you opened up and let me in
The amount of time that I've been spending with you lately
Have it in my mind, the pictures on your skin
And I swear to god I felt like this forever
It's been with me like the wind and the falling rain
My thoughts and eyes spend so much time together
What I wouldn't give to be with you again
You smile at me
And my whole world surrenders
When I walk away
I walk away
I walk away
Yea I walk away
Here I am playing the great pretender
Beside myself in this disguise
The girl you got is kind and sweet and slender
Ya, I can see it through your eyes
You smile at her
And my whole heart is yearning
While the flame is quietly burning
I want your love
So bad I'm about to lose my mind
I need your love
But you can't even be a friend of mine
An evening spell fades with the sunlight
But I just want you to stay
On my back with someone else who loves me
I can't help but sing this song to you
Someone else with no one else above me
Frankly I just don't know what to do
So here I am playing the great pretender
Rather unconvincingly
My thoughts and eyes spend so much time together
So much going on I wonder if you see
You call my name
It feels just like music
But I just want to hear you say
I want your love
So bad I'm about to lose my mind
I need your love
But you can't even be a friend of mine
I want your love
I need your love
I want your love
I need your love
