Best Friend

Lyrics

Here we are just trying to be flatmates Here we are just trying to sophisticate Be an adult trying not to fall in love Be a human trying not to stand out Here we are just trying to be neighbors You in bed and me still with the painters Smoking at the window at the magpies Trying to work out what's the truth and what's the lie I'm not saying that we will be best friends But I took you dancing at the weekend Tell your folks to let you out to play (And I'll try to make your day) Like the kids who play at pretend I'm not saying that we can't be running mates You run too fast for me (I try to keep the pace) What I lack in speed I make up for (In the way I move my hips) And the way the sun comes out when I move my lips So you won't want to miss all the shapes I can make It's a choice you'll want to take Here we are just trying to be Oh, here we are just trying not to fall in love (It's only human not to want to be alone) Here we are just trying to be Oh, here we are just trying not to get too close Come around to me (I'll be your locking vault) Tell me all your dirt (I'll never tell a soul) Tell me over steaming mac and cheese (With a tray upon your knees) We can listen to the radio I'm not saying I will cook you dinner Stick with me and you'll only end up thinner There are other ways to fill you up (I can look into your soul) I can feed you all the love I've been saving up Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not digging my way in I just like the game we're playing Here we are just trying to be Oh, here we are just trying not to fall in love (It's only human not to want to be alone) Here we are just trying to be Oh, here we are just trying not to get too close I'm not saying that we can't be dreamers Here we are just trying to be neighbors We can lie awake and watch the sky Forget the truth, forget the lie For the moment, you're my best friend
