Asking for a Friend

Hypothetically speaking…
If you knew this person
Who had these feelings
What kind of advice would you give
Would you soak him in the righteousness of your ego
Or would you seek to find a higher authority
I don’t know - that’s why I’m asking you
So long to sleeping alone
So long to all I’ve been shown
So long to running away
The only path that I’ve known
So long to saying goodbye
So long to saying so long
I don’t really wanna know how it begins
I don’t really wanna know how it will end
I don’t really wanna know
I don’t really wanna know
I don’t really wanna know
You know what they say about love?
But What does it say about us?
When we’re alone in the dark
I can barely see the spark
Coming down from up above
I don’t really wanna know how it begins
I don’t really wanna know how it will end
I’m just asking for a friend
Something happens when I close my eyes
It’s a feeling I just can’t recognize
I put my costume on
I put my costume on and I’m gone
The lessons learned
From our mistakes
will give us strength
And fade away
Fade away
The plans we make
May lead us astray
But day by day
We choose to stay
Change your name
Change your name
I don’t really wanna know how it begins
I don’t really wanna know how it will end
I’m just asking for a friend
I’m just asking for a friend
