Best Friend Lyrics - Belle And Sebastian

Here we are just trying to be flatmates 

Here we are just trying to sophisticate 

Be an adult, trying not to fall in love 

Be a human, trying not to stand up 

Here we are just trying to be neighbors 

You in bed, me still with the painters 

Smoking at the window, at the magpies 

Trying to work out what's the truth and what's the lie 

I'm not saying that we will be best friends 

But I took you dancing at the weekend 

Tell your folks in bed you had to play 

I tried to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend 

I'm not saying that we can't be running mates 

You run too fast for me, I try to keep the pace 

What I lack in speed I make up for in the way I move my hips 

And the way the sun comes out like the way I move my lips

So you won't want to miss 

All the shapes that can make 

It's a choice you want to take 

Here we are just trying to be 

Oh, here we are just trying not to 

Fall in love 

It's only human not to want to be alone 

Here we are just trying to be 

Oh, here we are just trying not to 

Get too close 

I'm a rented knee 

I'll be your lock and fold 

Tell me all your dirt 

I'll never tell a soul 

Tell me over steaming mac n cheese 

Hold the tray above your knees 

We can listen to the radio 

Photos 

I'm not saying I will kick you damn right 

Stick with me and only hit the friend mark 

There are other ways to feel you out 

I can look into your soul 

I can feed you all the love 

I can save you now 

Oh, and don't get me wrong 

I'm digging my way in 

I just like the game you're playing 

Here we are just trying to be 

Oh, here we are just trying not to 

Fall in love 

It's only human not to want to be alone 

Here we are just trying to be 

Oh, here we are just trying not to 

Get too close 

I'm not saying that we can't be dreamers 

Here we are just trying to be neighbors 

We can lie awake and watch the sky 

Forget the truth, forget the lie 

For the moment you're my best friend
