Maude

Let me hold your hand again, just once again
Can you believe it
It's been seven years since I have had a friend
Look into my eyes and see the fading light of memories,
Of half-forgotten smiles beneath your summer skies

Let me sing this song again, just once again
Can I remember well
The lines I wrote before I chose to end
The sadness in my smiles and oft-repeated jokes
Remembering the times I spent alone and with myself and I

I don't need many friends
Just real ones few
Just like you

Tell me more I beg of you a tale or two
The years that passed you by
Have they been as pale as my sad lullabyes
Lately I recall amidst the noise and all a memory,
Of half-remembered jokes and fading stories tall

And I don't need another friend who is just a friend,
I can depend on
To abandon me for seven years again
Look into my eyes and see the fading light of memories,
Of half-remembered lies beneath your winter skies

I don't need many friends
Just real ones few
How much have you changed since then
Or are you still you

Just like you
Just like you
Just like you

You're just a friend, you're just a friend, you're just a friend
(Just like you)
You're just a friend, you're just a friend, you're just a friend
(Just like you)
You're just a friend, you're just a friend, you're just a friend
(Just like you)

Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
