Friend Like That Lyrics

I'll meet you at the staircase, by the station

And we'll walk ‘round Olympic Park

Just until the sun sets

I'll tell you about the time that I rode through here

And down the canal

To the lighthouse, under the Skyline

I don't know if you know about that?

Went with my friend, who planned the whole route

On paths ‘cos I don't usually cycle on the roads now I'm grown up

I get so scared of these streets like you wouldn't believe

I need someone like that to bring me back out

And you say ooh..

“I wish I had a friend like that”

Oooh ooh ooooh

I'll say, “I only have a few if I'm honest”

Oooh ooh ooooh

We'll sit on the jetty

Down in the classy side of town and watch the sailboats

All drift right past us

I'll tell you about the time, years ago

When me and my friends went north

Hired a house, all 10 of us

To ring in the brand new year

And we walked ‘til we got lost

And we talked ‘til we cried

I know we'll never forget that time

We didn't even know each other very well

But that week we got a whole lot more close

You say ooh.. “I wish I had friends like that”

Oooh ooh ooooh

And I'll say, “we've drifted apart now if I'm honest”

Oooh ooh ooooh

Don't think it's you

It's all of us

Ever since the last few years

Even despite all that

Don't think it's you

It's all of us

Ever since the last few years

And even despite all that

You said, “I wish I had a friend like that”

Oooh ooh ooooh

And I'll say “I only have a few if I'm honest”

Oooh ooh ooooh
