Can Old Lovers Ever Just Be Friends?

[Verse 1]
Here we are
Two strangers standin' in the doorway of a bar
Nervously talkin' about the past
Easy to laugh about it now
Wasn't so long ago it hurt just to hear your name

[Chorus]
Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink, it all comes floodin' back again
You look at me and you smile
I think I haven't felt like this in a while
When we look out at the rain
And we see how much our lives have changed
Our future's rearranged, and somehow just the same

[Verse 2]
And here we are
Two strangers standin' on the pavement by a car
You rest your head upon my arm
Easy to laugh about it now
I watch your cigarette burn out
On the pavement

[Chorus]
Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink and go their separate ways again
You look like you wanna fight
I think that maybe it's time I say goodnight
But I'm happy that I came
Just to see your eyes still have their flame
Their beauty and their pain
It feels like yesterday

[Post-Chorus]
That I was yours
And you were mine
We were living in parallel lines
And you button up your coat
And the bill gets paid
When we leave behind this life we almost made

[Chorus]
Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink and go their separate ways again
You look at me and you smile
I think I haven't felt like this in a while
And we look out at the rain
And we see how much our lives have changed
Our future's rearranged, and somehow just the same

[Outro]
La lala lala lalalala
La la lalalala lalala
La lala lala lala
La lala la la la la la
Lala lalala
Lalalala lalala
Lalalala lalala
Lala la la la
