Baby we go round and round on this carousel ride

Seeing what we could be then let it pass us by

If we both just let go and stop believing all these lies

I know it won't take long, no it won't take long to realize



That we tried just friends, and every now and then

I call you on the phone just to see how you've been

Try distance but you were just too far away

But when the sun goes down on the other side of town

And we're both with another, our hearts won't lie

We're better off lovers



When you hold his hand does it feel like mine

Cuz when I kiss her lips you know it don't feel right

So many places filled with faces

But they all lead me back to you

I've been trying to catch my breath 

Cuz I've been running from the truth



That we tried just friends, and every now and then

I call you on the phone just to see how you've been

Try distance but you were just too far away

But when the sun goes down on the other side of town

And we're both with another, our hearts won't lie

We're better off lovers



In the end, we're better off now than we were when

We tried just friends, hanging out now and then

I call you on the phone just to see how you've been

Tried distance but you were just too far away



And we tried just friends, hanging out now and then

I call you on the phone just to see how you've been

Tried distance but you were just too far away

But when the sun goes down on the other side of town

And we're both with another, our hearts won't lie

We're better off lovers

Yeah we're better off lovers



We go round and round on the carousel ride
