Only A Friend - PictureHouse

You have all you want

Your shadow stands so tall

You can’t see over it

And it’s what you need

There’s no-one going to

Stop you from believing it

And so the game begins

Watching the china spin

Walking on gilded pins

Become more than a mother’s son

Who jumped the blocks before the gun

Disturbed the silent sun I know

Only a friend would know

And though you think it just don’t show

Only a friend would notice

Only a friend would know

When you’re getting down

Remember all the things

We used to dream about

How you’d leave this town

And be the only thing they’d talk about

There’s something to be said

For laying down and playing dead

Why don’t you live instead
