Be My Friend Lyrics

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
