I don't usually post my work in here, but seeing how many threads there have been on this topic, I thought many could relate. All comments are welcome.

 

Just Friends

 

Outside the lecture hall

Standin' in the pouring rain

Bracing for those three words

Let's be friends again

 

Another dream's washed away

Comin' to class just for you

My open heart's been slammed shut

What more can this lonely man do

 

Chorus:

 

How can we be just friends

When thoughts of you never end

Cuddling up together and then

Waking up with you on my mind

 

You say your heart's gone silent

That I should accept it

But you know I can't stand it

Being just friends all the time

 

End Chorus

 

At the county park next spring

Leavin' me alone with yesterday's paper

Hearin' the same old lines

How you'll catch me later

 

I'm wonderin' why I try so hard

Why things have to be like this

If love is just an illusion

I must be all out of tricks

 

Repeat Chorus

 

I'm just a shoulder to cry on

A counselor on the clock

If all they want is friends

I guess that's all I've got

 

I'm waking up with you on my mind

But you know I can't stand

Being just friends all the time

 

[Fade]

I love the line with the reference to the "lecture hall". What I would give to be of the age age where the lecture hall is an actual place and not just a distant memory.......

Thanks! Because it's easy to relate to, I may push for a demo to shop around on this one.
