Just Good Friends - Fish

There’s something I want to ask you

Before it’s too late

It’s been on my mind since the first time we met

It scares me now more, now there’s more at stake

It seems we’re so close yet so far away

Could you turn me down gently would I

Be out of order

If I declared my true feelings or do I

Act out the part

Of the father confessor of the shoulder to cry on

We’re always so close yet so far away

Chorus: what would you do if I got down

On my knees to you

Would you hold it against me

Would you stand in line?

What would you do if I

Opened my heart to you

Would I be another who’s wasting his time

Darling are we just good friends?

Do I really need to ask you

I’m sure that you know by now

Do we just play a game where we try to pretend

That all that’s between us is all that’s between us

And all we can rely on is just being good friends

So are we left to chance meetings

Is that all we can depend on?

Resigned to raise glasses in anonymous cafes

Reciting our failures as if we needed

Proof or regret

Over what might have

And what should have been, darling, are we just good friends?
