But it's been easier

And I can't buy

A friend

So get on down

The sun has broke

I stretch it out

To tell the truth

It all depends upon the liar

And if I scream, overboard

I'm in this over my head

Or whisper sweet

Every time I dream about you, baby

I never forget anything

Don't forget that I'm asleep

Go to sleep

It's over now

A final prayer for my friend

You tell that fool, to make it good

You have to start at the end

And if I scream, overkill

I'm in this over my head

Or whisper sweet, baby please
The singer is suggesting an alternative way to express his love.

I must have meant what I said
