Can't Be Your Friend (free) 03:14
It can be such a funny thing, why is it so much changes when I try and lean in? I felt heavy with thick skin, until you pulled away and I couldn’t stand against the wind. So much happens when I lean in, and when I see you falling towards I wasn’t caught up by your lips So I kept leaning till I was leaning through the floor... Babe I can’t just be your friend. Can’t be your friend, want you in my hands, can’t be your friend, I can’t just be your friend, oh nooooooooooooooo Baby don’t move, can I ask you this? What’s the point of love if we haven’t ever even kissed I’m not saying that’s all that there is, but you taste so good like peaches wet in my mustache You pulled away and I’m through the floor, I think I’m on my way To burn in the fires of wanting more, It’s hot down here, but look at you, can I be to blame? Babe I can’t just be your friend.

I love a mother ‘cause she’s so strong I love a daughter, we sneak around I love her sister and we both know that it’s wrong But I don’t love that I have to choose, All my love is still on the loose I love a smart girl with huge books I love a dull girl with good looks I love her in the city or in the woods But I don’t love that I have to choose, All my love is still on the loose. All my love is still on the loose (4x) I love them good and I love them bad I love the first and I love the last I love each and every one that I never had But I don’t love that I have to choose, All my love is still on the loose.

You can’t be wise and in love, I’m so sorry to get your hopes up You’re what I need but not what I want, I know it’s hard but that’s not all. No, I know that you know that I’m wrong. On my way to hell, whoah, I’ll be kicking myself On my way down that dark well, oh well. Woaaaooooaaoh wahaooohhoo The end justifies no means Woaaaooooaaoh wahaooohhoo You can’t be wise and in love, there’s reason to be but it just can’t be done From above you’ll be singing a song, and from below I’ll be singin’ along And I know that you know that I’m wrong.

I think some sinister things, when I drink I think about How many people I could rip from their limbs and whose blood goes under the rug There’s a darkness a lingering, when I think that it’s coming out You gotta promise me love that you’ll run, promise me, love, that you’ll run Whose blood goes under the rug? (4x) You don’t know how much I’d do for you I love the way that you moan when I sink between your thighs but I think right now we got to be alone, you can’t be wise and in love
