[Verse 1]
My body's achin'
My ship's left the shore
Your eyes are waiting
My knees on the floor

[Chorus]
And it's been so long
Since I had a friend
And it's been so long
Why can't we just pretend?

[Verse 2]
And I feel your laughter
Your warm, open stare
And I'm chasin' after
Somethin' that isn't there

[Chorus]
And it's been so long
Since I had a friend
And it's been so long
Why can't we just pretend?

[Bridge]
My heart will be pulled by this fleeting emotion
My mind will be swayed by this careful devotion
The sirens are sounding and they're so alarming
But I won't be moved 'til I hold you, my darling
It's starting to feel like I'm losing you now
As I reach for the sky and I beg you come down
I’m starting to feel this can't be real
It’s starting to feel this can’t be real
Oh-ooh, ah, ah-ah ah-ah

[Outro]
And it's been so long
Since I had a friend
