I wrote a goodbye note
In lipstick on your arm
When you passed out
I couldn't bring myself to call
Except to call it quits

Refrain:
Best friends
Ex-friends to the end
Better off as lovers
And not other way around
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of
Yellow-checkered cars

Refrain2:
You're wrong
Are we all wrong
You're wrong
Are we all wrong

This city says
Come hell or high water
When I'm feeling hot and wet
I can't commit to a thing
Be it heart or hospital

Refrain

Refrain2

The tombstones are waiting
They were half engraved
They knew it was over
Just didn't know the date

And I cast a spell over the west
To make you think of me
The same way I think of you
This is a love song
In my own way
Happily ever after
Below the waist

Refrain

Refrain2

Best friends
Ex-friends to the end
Better off as lovers
And not other way around
Ex-friends to the end
Better off as lovers
