If I could right now I'd like to be your mother So I could give to you and not have to explain I would brush your hair and tell you you'll be alright And if you cried, well, you would not feel ashamed But I, I am just a friend And I will try again, again If I could right now I'd like to be your journal So you could tell me everything right on the page And I'd never misunderstand you or say the wrong thing And I would not feel deserted by your rage But I, I am just a friend And I will try again, again If I could right now I'd like be a full moon So I could rise up just to keep you company And you could wonder out loud to me about the strange things And you would think I understood the mysteries But I, I am just a friend And I will try again, again
