0:23Here we are
0:26Two strangers standing in the doorway of a bar
0:34Nervously talking about the past
0:37Easy to laugh about it now
0:41Wasn't so long ago it hurt just to hear your name
0:51Can old lovers ever just be friends
0:54One drink it all comes flooding back again
0:59You look at me and you smile
1:02I think I haven't felt like this in a while and we look out at the rain
1:09And we see how much our lives have changed
1:13Our future's rearranged
1:16But somehow just the same
1:19And here we are
1:22Two strangers standing on the pavement by a car
1:29You rest your head upon my arm
1:33Easy to laugh about it now
1:36I watch your cigarette burn out
1:40On the pavement
1:46Can old lovers ever just be friends
1:50One drink and go their separate ways again
1:55You look like you wanna fight
1:58I think maybe it's time I said goodnight
2:01But I'm happy that I came
2:05Just to see your eyes still have their flame
2:08Their beauty and their pain
2:12It feels like yesterday
2:15That I was yours and you were mine
2:22We were living in parallel lines
2:29And you button up your coat
2:33And the bill gets paid
2:36When we leave behind this life
2:40We almost made
2:42Can old lovers ever just be friends
2:46One drink and go their separate ways again
2:50You look at me and you smile
2:53I think I haven't felt like this in a while
2:57And we look out at the rain
3:00Then we see how much our lives have changed
3:10Our future's rearranged
3:22Somehow just the same
Here we are Two strangers standing in the doorway of a bar Nervously talking about the past Easy to laugh about it now Wasn't so long ago it hurt just to hear your name Can old lovers ever just be friends One drink it all comes flooding back 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 But somehow just the same And here we are Two strangers standing 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 Can old lovers ever just be friends One drink and go their separate ways again You look like you wanna fight I think maybe it's time I said 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 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 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 Then we see how much our lives have changed Our future's rearranged Somehow just the same
