I'd like to ride with you on a southbound train
We could talk for hours
head out to where no one knows our name
Get to know just who we are
We can try to figure out what we've been through
Wonder if we'll ever settle down
And if you kissed me right then
What would I do
Well don't be surprised if I don't hang around
Or put a ring upon your hand
I don't want eternity to hold me down
Cause I'm just looking for a friend.
I'd like to fly with you on a midnight plane
We could see forever
Celebrate the coming of our age
And spend time for all its worth
Cause I'm living all the dreams of my youth
But I'm old enough to know its not my time
Say but if we fell in love
What would I do
Well don't be surprised if I don't hang around
Or put a ring upon your hand
I don't want eternity to hold me down
Cause I'm just looking for a friend.
With my conscious calling
From grace I'm falling
If I give in
To this feeling its got me reeling,
I don't know what state of mind I'm in
but I'll take your joy and I'll take your pain
I'll take your heart and give it back again,
its not alright.
But can I think of you when I'm all alone
It wouldn't mean the world
Cause you'll be near wherever I may roam
But I cant give you more
Cause the train may never leave our city walls
And the plane may never see the light of day
So but if you need my time
Then you just call
Well don't be surprised if I don't hang around
Or put a ring upon your hand
I don't want eternity to hold me down
Cause I'm just looking for a friend.
No I don't want eternity to hold me down
Cause I'm just looking for a friend.
