Just Friends
Virginia To Vegas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember your apartment when you said
You don't wanna waste any more time
On let downs or heart breaks
Now we're day drunk in the back seat of a taxi
And you're telling me you wanna kiss me
But we shouldn't 'cause we're just friends

Maybe we could go get lost tonight
At least we'd know that we gave it a try

So why don't we go out and get a drink in the west end
Smoke a cigarette and talk shit about exes
Take a couples shots and see where the night ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends
Why don't we go out and get a drink in the west end
One more dance, are you feeling the tension?
Take a couple shots and see where the nights ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends
Stop pretending like we're just friends
Stop pretending like we're just friends

Tomorrow when it's over and we're sober
I just want to believe that you'll miss me
But I shouldn't 'cause we're just friends
Now we're day drunk in the back seat of a taxi
And you're telling me you wanna kiss me
But we shouldn't 'cause we're just friends

Maybe we could go get lost tonight
At least we'd know that we gave it a try

So why don't we go out and get a drink in the west end
Smoke a cigarette and talk shit about exes
Take a couples shots and see where the night ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends
Why don't we go out and get a drink in the west end
One more dance, are you feeling the tension?
Take a couple shots and see where the nights ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends
Stop pretending like we're just friends
Stop pretending like we're just friends

Maybe we could go get lost tonight
At least we'd know that we gave it a try

So why don't we go out and get a drink in the west end
Smoke a cigarette and talk shit about exes
Take a couples shots and see where the night ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends
Why don't we go out and get a drink in the west end
One more dance, are you feeling the tension?
Take a couple shots and see where the nights ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends




Stop pretending like we're just friends
Stop pretending like we're just friends

Overall Meaning

The song Just Friends by Virginia To Vegas deals with the dilemma of wanting to be more than friends with someone but being hesitant to cross that line because of the fear of ruining the friendship. The lyrics describe a situation where two friends are in the back seat of a taxi, day drunk and contemplating whether to take their relationship to the next level.

The lyrics capture the ambiguous nature of their relationship, with both parties unsure of what they want, and yet wanting to take a leap of faith.


In conclusion, Just Friends by Virginia To Vegas is a catchy pop song that explores the complicated emotions of wanting to pursue something more with a friend but being hesitant to do so.

[Verse 1]
Remember your apartment

In the backseat of a taxi
And you're telling me you wanna kiss me
But we shouldn't 'cause we're just friends

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we could go get lost tonight
At least we know that we gave it a try

[Chorus]
So why don't we go out and get a drink in the West end?
Smoke a cigarette and talk shit about exes
Take a couple shots and see where the night ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends

One more dance, are you feeling the tension?
Take a couple shots and see where the night ends
Stop pretending like we're just friends

Stop pretending like we're just friends

[Verse 2]
Tomorrow when it's over
And we're sober

In the backseat of a taxi
And you're telling me you want to kiss me
But we shouldn't 'cause we're just friends
