We Could Be Friends

Oh I was in the basin

Crawling knees and slow time

I was so adamant to shake you

For the freedom I sought

Oh I was never mindful that you had done time

You can fight but eventually you will learn what we do,

Oh don't you know, or could it be

That we could be friends

We could be friends

We could be friends

We'll see the end of it

I gotta give you a chance to trust me

So we'll know how to be

When everything ends

Everything ends

Everything ends

So I depend on you to be here with me

Everybody wants to say that dying's alright

Every baby's born with no fear

Until the day they become a liar

You can fight but eventually you will learn what we do,

Oh don't you know, or could it be

That we could be friends

We could be friends

We could be friends

We'll see the end of it

I gotta give you a chance to trust me

So we'll know how to be

When everything ends

Everything ends

Everything ends

So I depend on you to be here with me

Emphatic, erratic, automatic, do-gooder cash cows

I can safely say I'm no better

Or no worse now

I'm too idealistic to ever meet my expectations

I'm a child star contestant on a show too overrated
