Judging by the distance, that's written in your eyes This is that defining moment, that people realise It's not communication, it's not that we don't try We don't want the same thing, the facts are hard to fight
But if this is how it's going to end And if the rules you want to life by won't bend Then when you finally find the life you expect you'll still need a friend
Comprimised solution, still could save the day But when I move toward the middle, you just turn away I understand the reasons, but that don't stop the pain Your path was there before me, but from it you won't stray
'Cause I know that you'll be better off alone And our love was never written in stone But when you're out there in the world on your own you'll still need a friend you'll still need a friend
We've reached the end, I can't deny it I know the honeymoon is over now But no matter where you go I'm on your side
So if this is how it's going to end And if the rules you want to life by won't bend Wehn you finally find the life you expect You're still gonna need a friend oh Lord, you're still gonna need a friend
Yes, I understand the reasons baby Lord knows I do When you're out there in the world on your own You'll still need a friend Gonna need somebody baby, mmm You'll still need a friend
