raining so hard and i kept feeling that song
a call to say hi lasted all night long
how can friendly conversation go so astray?
in both our lives reality hums
but we keep dropping bread crumbs
like we can still go home someday

CHORUS:
but i’ve got mine and you’ve got yours
let’s not open up past doors
they’ll only drown us with what was then
it wasn’t me, it wasn’t you -
let’s not both come unglued
we’ll file it under “what could have been”

you’ve got your job and a new place
a good scene amidst the city’s pace
now there’s no reason for your to be forlorn
i’m busy working and going to school
there’s no time now for this dual
i’lll just let my heart and mind stay torn

CHORUS

the same old story with the usual end
last line is always, “let’s just be friends”
same history has been working so long
we’ll forget what it was like to touch
or how we spent each day at high school lunch
when you love again you’ll see this wasn’t wrong

CHORUS
