Can Old Lovers Ever Just Be Friends?

Here we are

Two strangers standin' in the doorway of a bar

Nervously talkin' about the past

Easy to laugh about it now

Wasn't so long ago it hurt just to hear your name

Can old lovers ever just be friends?

One drink, it all comes floodin' back again

You look at me and you smile

I think I haven't felt like this in a while

When we look out at the rain

And we see how much our lives have changed

Our future's rearranged, and somehow just the same

And here we are

Two strangers standin' on the pavement by a car

You rest your head upon my arm

Easy to laugh about it now

I watch your cigarette burn out

On the pavement

Can old lovers ever just be friends?

One drink and go their separate ways again

You look like you wanna fight

I think that maybe it's time I say goodnight

But I'm happy that I came

Just to see your eyes still have their flame

Their beauty and their pain

It feels like yesterday

That I was yours

And you were mine

We were living in parallel lines

And you button up your coat

And the bill gets paid

When we leave behind this life we almost made

Can old lovers ever just be friends?

One drink and go their separate ways again

You look at me and you smile

I think I haven't felt like this in a while

And we look out at the rain

And we see how much our lives have changed

Our future's rearranged, and somehow just the same
