We stayed up til 3 talkin’

Any time I could just walk in

To your dorm room next to mine

I was dating your friend but you and I were closer

I dumped him ‘cause he was such a loser

And when I told you, I saw the look in your eyes

It all changed that December night

We held hands for the very first time

At Springsteen the day after Lennon died

And I can’t stop thinking that we had a good thing

Til we tried to make it into what it couldn’t be

Is there ever a good way out
And I’m writing this message that I wish I could send

But the last thing I want is to hurt you again

Could we get back somehow

To what we were

Way back when

We were just friends… friends

Heard you married, had a couple kids

Worked hard and made it, like I did
Come a long way since ‘83

Do you still escape with your headphones

Can you believe that I started writing songs
Maybe I should let it be

‘Cause these are still glory days

There’s not a lot I would change
So at Springsteen the other night it felt strange

I can’t stop thinking that we had a good thing

Til we tried to make it into what it couldn’t be

Is there ever a good way out
And I’m writing this message that I wish I could send

But the last thing I want is to hurt you again

Could we get back somehow

To what we were

Way back when

We were just friends… friends

What I really want to say is I’m sorry

And if you don’t reply, I understand

But I can’t stop thinking that we had a good thing

Til we tried to make it into what it couldn’t be

Is there ever a good way out
And I’m writing this message that I wish I could send

But the last thing I want is to hurt you again

Could we get back somehow

To what we were

Way back when

To what we were

Way back when

We were just friends… friends

We stayed up ‘til 3 talkin’

Any time I could just walk in
