There was a time
When I could come to you
You spoke to me
Of all those things you do
Maybe that's why
We were best friends
What could I do for you
To make amends
And now I come to you
One more time
You notice I've written down
The first line
But something happens
And you're gone away
Will you come back to me
And for another day
Maybe cause I pretend
I know too much
Or not enough
And I just need a crutch
But I'm sure that you
Might have a word or two
To let me know
Exactly what to do
Now I come to you
As your friend
Asking of you
Why'd ya have to do that
It's been so long
Since you came to me
So that we'll remember when
Oh how long
Can it go on this way
Oh how long
Can this go on
Oh how long
Can it go on this way
Oh how long
Can this go on
You're on me
And I'm up on you
You're something not old
You're something new
You hold to me
And I hold on to you
Although this isn't like before
We're together now
From time to time
We spoke in puzzles
Yes both yours and mine
Why is it that
I find it hard to breathe
Tell me quickly now
Are you gonna leave
Oh how long
Can it go on this way
Oh how long
Can this go on
Oh how long
Can it go on this way
Oh how long
Can this go on
Oh how long
Can it go on this way
Oh how long
Can this go on
Oh how long
Can it go on this way
Oh how long
Can this go on
