Such Good Friends

We could've played house
Put the groceries away, mop the floor
Sing a lullaby, I'll hold the door
Have you ever felt this way before?
'Cause I'll never need anything more
Blow the candles out, summer will pass
Running barefoot around on the grass
Why did neither of us ever ask?

I know what I'm supposed to do
This city's voice is loud
So I do like the Romans do
And take comfort in the crowd
But I live with the ghost of you
You're gone then back again
Am I making the most of you?
This whole town is the toast of you

I tighten my belt
Send the letter without the address
Take the trash out, but don't clean the mess
I'll be honest, but I won't confess
'Cause I'm learning to live with less
Keep a corner for you in my mind
Letting go of whatever I find
Moving faster and falling behind

I know what I'm supposed to do
This city's voice is loud
So I do like the Romans do
And take comfort in the crowd
But I live with the ghost of you
You're gone then back again
Am I making the most of you?
This whole town is the toast of you

I just want to be close to you
Stand in the night 'neath the trees and the sky in the park
And I would have gone home with you
At the end of every party walking slowly in the dark
You could kiss me right now
Hold me as you told me that it's me until the end
But we're such good friends

So I'm flying
back to the Cape
I'm done trying
to make my escape
I'm not crying
for you anymore

I know what I'm supposed to do
So I do like the Romans do
But I live with the ghost of you
Am I making the most of you?
I just want to be close to you

I know what I'm supposed to do
Stand in the night 'neath the trees and the sky in the park
And I would have gone home with you
At the end of every party walking slowly in the dark
You could kiss me right now
Hold me as you told me that it's me until the end
But we're such good friends
