Such A Good Friend

He walks with sunlight in his eyes

Like he's never seen the rain

And I sit around wondering

When he's gonna bring his sunlight around again

And am I crazy to think I could be

His Aphrodite the mightiest love he's every known

I've wanted him so badly

I've crowned and anchored him on his very own throne

And he laughs at me

And he smiles at me

And he says you will always be

Such a good friend

You know you are such a good friend

I know this is a race I will lose

I will lose face, I will fall down

And I know he cannot see the war I wage inside

Each day I try to make his love come around

And he laughs at me

And he smiles at me

And he says

Hey, you're such a good friend

So he takes off his dry shoes

After walking on the water all day

My wet hair hangs in my eyes

As I wipe the tears from my face

He lays one finger upon my cold skin

And his touch is a fire

And I almost say

I hope this never ends

But then he laughs at me

And he smiles at me

And he says

You will always be such a good friend

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I am such a good friend

And I don't really want to be

I don't really want to be
