There's something I want to ask you before it's too late
It's been on my mind since the first time we met
It scares me now more now there's more at stake
It seems we're so close but we're so far away

What would you do if I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me? Would you stand me in line?
What would you do if I opened up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who is wasting his time?
Darling, are we just good friends?

Could you turn me down gently? Would I be out of order
If I declared my true feelings? Or do I act out the part
Of the father confessor, of the shoulder to cry on
Well, we're always so close yet we're so far away

What would you do if I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me? Darling, would you stand me in line?
What would you do if I opened up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who is wasting his time?
Darling, are we just good friends? Alright

Do I really need to ask you? I'm sure that you know by now
Do we just play a game where we try to pretend
That all that's between us is all that's between us
And all we can rely on is being just good friends

What would you do if I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me? Darling, would you stand me in line?
What would you do if I opened up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who is wasting his time?
Darling, are we just good friends?

So are we left to chance meetings?
Is that all we can depend on?
Resigned to raise glasses
In anonymous cafes

Reciting our failures
As if we really needed that proof of regret
Over what might have and what should have been
Darling, are we just good friends?

What would you do if I got down on my knees to you?
Would you hold it against me? Would you stand in line?
What would you do if I opened up my heart to you?
Would I just be another who is wasting his time?
Darling, are we just good friends?

Are we just good friends?
Tell me, darling, are we just good friends?
