We used to be the best of friends 

I wrote a song for you 

You'd call me for no reason 

Talk about TV and food 



We used to be the best of friends 

You read my horoscope 

You said I wasn't anal enough to be a Virgo 

I said that's what I hoped 



I admitted I was scared to you 

I said I couldn't sleep 

I told my jokes and they were bad 

You laughed to humour me 



We used to be the best of friends 

We flirted but no more 

Sometimes we'd drop each other hints 

That we would both ignore 



But now we're not the best of friends 

We said we'd always be 

There was a night I should've kissed you 

That blame belongs to me 



'Cos you got a boyfriend, got a life 

I guess he took my place 

I started speaking to you less and less 

Till you were just another face 



But sometimes our eyes meet 

Sometimes we look around 

Then one of us will look away 

I usually look down 



The other night I was hanging out 

Red eyes, wet hair 

I looked across the circle 

And you were sitting there 



The moment lasted forever 

The reefer round this time 

I took the hit and passed it on 

Inside I nearly cried 



When I think about the friends I've had 

Forgotten faces in a crowd 

The many times I've bared my soul 

I've grown this old, I've cried out loud 



I looked at you, you sat in shock 

I looked at you, you sat in shock 

My drifting nature has got to stop 

My drifting nature's got to stop
