Back Again

Thank God we didn't tell our friends How embarrassing that would have been Them acting like referees, watching us at parties Under a microscope lens I'm already stressed that you're in the room I can't look you in the eye Do they see it, too? I can't be normal with you It ain't what it was, but it is what it is It's the end of an era of as good as it gets Well, I learned from my father You can't tread old water Can't be friends then lovers, then friends Once you burn that bridge You can't go back again Thank God I didn't tell my mother I could just picture the call She'd bring your name up Hear my voice tear up And say she never liked you at all Even if it wasn't your fault Still, it ain't what it was, but it is what it is It's the end of an era of as good as it gets Well, I learned from my father You can't tread old water Can't be friends then lovers, then friends Once you burn that bridge You can't go back When we were stupid, back when we ruined Five years with a five second kiss From friends to lovers To, I may never see you again It ain't what it was, but it is what it is It's the end of an era that I can't get back again Well, I learned from my father You can't tread old water Can't be friends then lovers, then friends When you burn that bridge You can't go back again I can't go back I can't go back again
