You go east, I go west
And leave all of this unhappiness
Let's solve it someday
And make the best of the rest of our lives, ooh

Maybe down the road, we'll still be friends
With a little love and tenderness

You know sometimes, things have to go wrong
If they're ever gonna turn out right, out right
And it's funny how the best of lovers
Wake up and discover

When the loving comes to an end
They're just barely friends
When we're holding one another
We're the very best of lovers

But in the waking light of dawn
We're just barely friends, barely friends
You go north, I go south
You won't be easy to live without

But there's your sky to be out tonight
So living like this, I hate
A silence space, such a lonely shrine
And I only hear your voice when you're not around

I know tonight, I will awake
And crave the sweet taste of your kiss (of your kiss)
And it's funny how the best of lovers
Wake up and discover

When the loving comes to an end
They're just barely friends
When we're holding one another
We're the very best of lovers

But waking in each others arms
We're just barely friends, barely friends
We're just barely friends
Waking in each others arms
We're just barely friends, barely friends

(Barely friends)
Oh, oh
