Here we are
Two strangers standing in the doorway of a bar
Nervously talking about the past
Easy to laugh about it now
Wasn't so long ago
It hurt just to hear your name

Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink, it all comes flooding back again
You look at me and you smile
I think I haven't felt like this in a while
And we look out at the rain
And we see how much our lives have changed
Our future's rearranged
But somehow just the same

And here we are
Two strangers standing on the pavement by a car
You rest your head upon my arm
Easy to laugh about it now
I watch your cigarette burn out
On the pavement

Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink and go their separate ways again?
You look like you wanna fight
I think maybe it's time I said goodnight
But I'm happy that I came
Just to see your eyes still have their flame
Their beauty and their pain

It feels like yesterday
That I was yours and you were mine
We were living in parallel lines
And you button up your coat
And the bill gets paid
When we leave behind this life
We almost made

Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink, and go their separate ways again?
You look at me and you smile
I think I haven't felt like this in a while
And we look out at the rain
Then we see how much our lives have changed
Can we ever make amends?
Can old lovers still be friends?

La, la, la la, la, la la
