[Verse 1]
When I could be anything

Oh-oh
We could be better than
Better than all of them
[Chorus]
I can see you're runnin' now
You can't see me
Burnin' in the back now
Coming down

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]

You can wear my clothes

Smoking into the clouds

[Chorus]
I can see you're runnin' now

Burnin' in the back now
Coming down
Said you got a new car
Give me a ride home

You could be my best friend
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
Drinking at ninety-three
Stay with me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I show up late
But I'm still straight A
[Chorus]
I can see you're runnin' now
You can't see me
Burnin' in the back now
Coming down, oh
Said you got a new car
Give me a ride home
You could be my best friend (You could be my best friend)
You could be my best friend
