Be My Friend

These days are floundering And all my mistakes they're compounding Racking up and shacking up The lines are down, the windows are shut Could you be my friend If every by-road and main to Rome led to dead-end? Be my friend Those men in suits are out With collecting cans, enquiring about Your many moons and lakes Your family ties that all strangulate The inherent can't pretend But who in my next of kin will be there to the end And be my own true friend? I just wanna forgive myself The love you gave was for someone else I really, really wanted to be more free A someone that you thought I should be Be my friend Cos no one else where be there truly till the end So be my own best friend Wrap your loving arms around And ride this out, hold yourself down Waking up at 3am The ghosts of old love have found you again They want to be my friend They say they oughta, if you brought her tenderness So hold your regrets Could you be my friend? Be my own best friend A love more me, a love more true What's lost in me is the lost in you I just wanna forgive myself I really, really wanted to be more free
