Song Lyrics

Last night I sat and talked with a friend of a friend
When those old stories begin, they never end
We smiled and talked and laughed about all the old times
How everybody seems
To go off chasing dreams

Did he recall a girl who appeared heaven sent
He laughed at my choice of wordsbut knew who I meant
Did he by chance ever hear what she's doing now
Just off somewhere he guessed
Not settled like the rest

I always used to take things lightly
Not thinking of the way things might be
I could miss a love I never knew
Now I could spend my whole life missing
Then lie in my grave still wishing
I was more than a friend of a friendto you

We spent most of the night thinking how it was then
Wishing we could live the past over again
Was there a thing at all that he might like to change
He said too much time alone
Can turn a heart to stone

I think it was the way I repeated her name
The tone of my voice revealed my little game
So did he really think that she still looks the same
He just shrugged a shoulder
Perhaps she looked older

I always used to take things lightly
Not thinking of the way things might be
I could miss a love I never knew
Now I could spend my whole life missing
Then lie in my grave still wishing
I was more than a friend of a friendto you

I always used to take things lightly
Not thinking of the way things might be
I could miss a love I never knew
Now I could spend my whole life missing
Then lie in my grave still wishing
I was more than a friend of a friend to you
