Between Friends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell you all you need to hear
But I don′t think you want me to
I can give you all of me, it's clear
You always lose your cool

I take you out, it′s hard to see
You grab the light, just wait for me
I'll be the one, one you can keep

Yeah, but not for long
With all those fears, taking it out on those past years
You know that they're so dear to me

You know that you can still come anytime (every time)
You know that you can still come over
Naturally your habits keep me high (every time)
You know that you can still come over

You know that you can still come anytime (every time)
You know that you can still come over
Naturally your habits keep me high (every time)
You know that you can still come over

You should tell me all I need to hear
But I don′t really want you to
Tried to give me all of you, it′s clear
That I went in and lost my cool

I take you out, it's hard to see
You grab the light, just wait for me
I′ll be the one, one you can keep
Yeah, but not for long
With all those fears, taking it out on those past years
You know that you're so dear to me

You know that you can still come anytime (every time)
You know that you can still come over
Naturally your habits keep me high (every time)
You know that you can still come over

(I′m on a natural high)
(I won't let you down)
(I′m on a natural high)

You know that you can still come anytime (every time)
You know that you can still come over
Naturally your habits keep me high (every time)
You know that you can still come over

You know that you can still come anytime (every time)
You know that you can still come over

Naturally your habits keep me high (every time)
You know that you can still come over
