new york wasn't mine

was it me, or just my kind

spinning softly, talking cheap

there?s no place left to be

but a road that just goes on

to everyone leaving town

friends as lovers

lovers as friends



shall we dance into the night

as the jukebox moans and pours out time

friends and lovers

lovers and friends

there?s no place left to be

than wrapped around your eyes

and every passing town

or stay as lovers

or stay as friends



there?s no prayers

for dashboard light

flagging goals

you're missing sides

'cause they say you are the one

and there?s no place left to be

than where you stand right now

i know these leaving town

us as lovers

lovers as friends



to your face

to speak alone

to your back

among the proud

we're friends with lovers

lovers with friends

and there?s no place left to be

that can keep me away from you

on every passing train

i see lovers

i see friends



darling boy

you?re on my mind, she says

i feel your skin

as if it?s mine

this pain it sweet

too sweet to touch

and there?s no place left to be

in the shadow of your lives

in everyone leaving town

friends as lovers

lovers as friends



and there?s no place left to be

than where you are right now

beside us leaving town

i'm your lover

i'm your friend
