Lyrics and translation
Original
Here we are
Two strangers standing in the doorway of a bar
Nervously talking about the past
Easy to laugh about it now
Wasn't so long ago it hurt just to hear your name
Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink, it all comes flooding back again
You look at me, and you smile
I think I haven't felt like this in a while
When we look out at the rain
And we see how much our lives have changed
Our futures rearranged, but somehow just the same
And here we are
Two strangers standing on the pavement by a car
You rest your head upon my arm
Easy to laugh about it now
I watch your cigarette burn out
On the pavement
Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink, and go their separate ways again
You know I won't fight
I think maybe it's time I said good night
But I'm happy that I came
Just to see your eyes still have their flame
Their beauty and their pain
It feels like yesterday
That I was yours and you were mine
We were living in parallel lines
And you button up your coat, and the bill gets paid
And we'll leave behind this life we almost made
Can old lovers ever just be friends?
One drink, and go our separate ways again
You look at me, and you smile
I think I haven't felt like this in a while
When we look out at the rain
And we see how much our lives have changed
Our futures rearranged, but somehow just the same
