Can I Be Your Friend (Classic Pop Rock Duet)

(split song parts into duet sections with individual and joint singing)

Verse 1

Mornings come, and the sunlight steals my sleep

Cold coffee on the counter

You’re the thought that tumbles in, when I can’t hide

Caught between what’s spoken, and the things we never say

Lost for words again

I wonder if you know

Just how close you are inside my mind

Caught up in a smile you left behind

Chorus

Can I be your friend?

After all these wishes I pretend

Holding onto almost, tracing lines we bend

Can I be your friend?

If it’s all I win, can I just stay in

Your life somehow, again and again?

Post-Chorus

Can I be your friend?

Can I be your friend?

Verse 2

You call, late at night

Chasing old familiar jokes

We share the same old stories, worn

But they never get old

Quiet now, you laugh, I memorize the sound

Every little sigh, every silent vow

Maybe I miss you, maybe you miss me too

Wonder if I’d say it, would you see right through?

A glance becomes a memory

A wish, a word, a line

Chorus

Can I be your friend?

After all these wishes I pretend

Holding onto almost, tracing lines we bend

Can I be your friend?

If it’s all I win, can I just stay in

Your life somehow, again and again?

Bridge

We could walk slow, side by side

Broken hearts, still open wide

If just tonight, if just this call

Let me stay

Let me stay

Chorus

Can I be your friend?

After all these wishes I pretend

Holding onto almost, tracing lines we bend

Can I be your friend?

If it’s all I win, can I just stay in

Your life somehow, again and again?

Outro

Can I be your friend?

Can I be your friend?

Again and again

Can I be your friend?
