Sitting there, making out that it's just not fair at all Cold stares, nose in the air Both pretending that we just don't care, but Every time you leave the room I'd start to worry and I'd wonder where...
Where were you going, where had the lvoe gone? Both of us knowing we were missing the fun How to control it, what had we done? We couldn't get out of this thing we'd begun, but...
Now that we're friends again Now that we're friends again Now that we're friends again I don't know what the fighting was over Now that we're friends again We promised we'll stay that way day to day, today
What a world And will the boy ever understand the girl Check mate, you were getting on great, adn then something was said, and it was much too late, 'cos by the time you reached the end you'd won a point but you'd lost a friend
Where were we going, where had the lvoe gone? Both of us knew we were killing the fun How to control it, what had we gone? We couldn't get out of this thing we'd begun, but...
Now that we're friends again We say that we'll learn and maybe we will Now that we're friends again
It's not enought to say for all your life Hoping you get there before its gone away It's just a shame to let a moment slide when no one can hide that all we have is here today
Just don't let us end that way!
Where were we going? Both of us knew we were missing the fun How to control it, what had we done? We couldn't get out of this thing we'd begun, but...
Now that we're friends again Now that we're friends again We say that we'll learn and maybe we will Now that we're friends again I don't know what the fighting was over Now that we're friends again We pray that we stay that way day to day, today Now that we're friends again We pray that we pray that we stay that way today Now that we're friends again
