It's been a long day and I'm so tired
I nearly drank my voice away last night
But that never stops me
There's just something about this place
And I wouldn't need a doctor
To diagnose my case
So alive but barely awake

And you seem like you'd make a good friend
But you never know for sure

Look at it this way
There's your side and there's my side
And the empty space between
Filled with miles of concrete
Under yellow lights
On a crash course in polite conversation
From the left side to the right side
Night after night

And you seem like you'd make a good friend
And you might as well because

I'm dying to catch my breath and
I'm trying to hold it in and
I should've been in the photograph
So that everyone would believe me

And you seem like you'd make a good friend
But you never know for sure
I'd like to stay and find out more

How did I get here
So far and so good
Do you know how long it's been since
We've been friends well of course you do
And of course I should
We'll be coming back for sure
I'd like to stay around but

I'm dying to catch my breath and
I'm trying to hold it in and
I should've been in the photograph
So that everyone would believe

And you seem like you'd make a good friend
But you never know for sure
I'd like to stay and find out more
But I don't know how much I can afford because
It's flying by and I'm falling down
And it's all happening now
