Friend

lyrics

I had a friend once
somehow we lost it
I thought I knew exactly what it was --
it was nothing at all
remember driving around in your car?
back then I think I loved you
but maybe you could just get around
and I'd be stuck without you

I liked the idea of what I could be in your eyes
I wanted to see with your eyes -- see what you see in me

if you'd stuck around,
I'd be coming over
we'd cook up something
we'd drink a beer on the porch
but I don't know you
and I don't want to

I liked the idea…
I liked the idea...
I liked the idea...
I liked the idea...

tell me what you learned
did you learn anything at all
from treating me so badly?
