Temporary Friend - Emma Louise

Steady on my feet

for I am small

small enough to fit comfortably inside your arms

And did you really try and walk me home

Press me up against my car and kiss me down to my bones

But if we’re not in love

Then why do we pretend

And if time’s not enough

I’ll be your temporary friend

I’ll be your temporary friend

I’ll be your temporary friend for a while

And my mind, it feels you pressed against my skin

sends shivers down inside me

oh boy how did this begin

and underneath the stars …

keeping my body warm, my belly pressed on yours

But if we’re not in love

Then why do we pretend

And if time’s not enough

I’ll be your temporary friend

I’ll be your temporary friend

I’ll be your temporary friend

For a while don’t leave me

For a while don’t leave me

For a while don’t leave me

But if we’re not in love

Then why do we pretend

And if time’s not enough

I’ll be your temporary friend

I’ll be your temporary friend

I’ll be your temporary friend for a while
