Lyrics Just Good Friends - Fish

Just Good Friends

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?
