There`s something I want to ask you
before it`s too late
it`s been on my mind since the first time we met
it scares me now more, now there`s more at stake
well it seems that we`re so close yet so far away

What would you do
if I got down on my knees to you
would you hold it against me
would you stand me in line
what would you do
if I opened up my heart to you
would I just be another, well am I wasting my time
darling are we just good friends

Could you turn me down gently
would I be out of order
if I declared my true feelings
would you act out the part
of the father confessor of the shoulder to cry on
we`re always so close yet so far away

What would you do
if I got down on my knees to you
would you hold it against me
would you stand me in line
what would you do
if I opened up my heart to you
would I just be another, well am I wasting my time
darling are we just good friends

So are we left to chance meetings
is that all we can depend on
resigned to raise glasses in anonymous cafes
reciting our failures
as if we really needed that proof or regret
over what might have and what should have been
darling, are we just good friends?

What would you do
if I got down on my knees to you
would you hold it against me
darling would you stand me in line
what would you do
if I opened up my heart to you
would I just be another, well am I wasting my time
darling are we just good friends

Are we just good friends
just good friends
honestly, sincerely, are we just good friends
