We Could Be Friends lyrics - Matt Corby

Oh I was in the basin
Crawling knees and slow time
I was so adamant to shake you
For the freedom I sought
Oh I was never mindful that you had done time

You can fight but eventually you will learn what we do,
Oh don't you know, or could it be
That we could be friends
We could be friends
We could be friends
We'll see the end of it
I gotta give you a chance to trust me

So we'll know how to be
When everything ends
Everything ends
Everything ends
So I depend on you to be here with me

Everybody wants to say that dying's alright
Every baby's born with no fear
Until the day they become a liar

You can fight but eventually you will learn what we do,
Oh don't you know, or could it be
That we could be friends
We could be friends
We could be friends
We'll see the end of it
I gotta give you a chance to trust me

So we'll know how to be
When everything ends
Everything ends
Everything ends
So I depend on you to be here with me

Emphatic, erratic, automatic, do-gooder cash cows
I can safely say I'm no better
Or no worse now
I'm too idealistic to ever meet my expectations
I'm a child star contestant on a show too overrated
