Just Friends Now

I wanna be the water can to your flower bed
I could sprinkle you til your roots are wet
But baby, I’m the hoover dam and you’d surely drown
Better wait it out til my levels go down

I wanna be the wind to your flock of birds
I could lift you up, take you onward
But darlin’, I’m a hurricane- I’d blow you around
I better hold it in til I settle down

You appear in my songs, appear in my poems
But you’ll never know ‘cause I won’t show ’em
Appear in my words here in my letter
That I’ll never send ‘cause I know better
I can’t reach out to you when I got much too much to say
And we’re just friends now

I wanna be the sunshine to your oak tree
Help ya photosynthesize, pour a little warmth on your leaves
But I’m a forest fire- I’d only bring you pain
Better stay away until I’m contained

I wanna be a comfort, I wanna be a friend
To tell you I’m rooting for you, that I’d fight or defend
But if I open my mouth I dunno what would come out
Could be a flash flood or a total drought

So I’ll live in a song, hide in a poem
Anywhere I can to keep you from knowin’
Cry through my pen into my letter
Let it all out and then straight to the shredder
So you’ll never know how much you still mean to me
‘Cause we’re just friends now

We’re just friends now
