Asking for a Friend Lyrics

Hypothetically speaking…

If you knew this person

Who had these feelings

What kind of advice would you give

Would you soak him in the righteousness of your ego

Or would you seek to find a higher authority

I don’t know - that’s why I’m asking you

So long to sleeping alone

So long to all I’ve been shown

So long to running away

The only path that I’ve known

So long to saying goodbye

So long to saying so long

I don’t really wanna know how it begins

I don’t really wanna know how it will end

I don’t really wanna know

I don’t really wanna know

I don’t really wanna know

You know what they say about love?

But What does it say about us?

When we’re alone in the dark

I can barely see the spark

Coming down from up above

I don’t really wanna know how it begins

I don’t really wanna know how it will end

I’m just asking for a friend

Something happens when I close my eyes

It’s a feeling I just can’t recognize

I put my costume on

I put my costume on and I’m gone

The lessons learned

From our mistakes

will give us strength

And fade away

Fade away

The plans we make

May lead us astray

But day by day

We choose to stay

Change your name

Change your name

I don’t really wanna know how it begins

I don’t really wanna know how it will end

I’m just asking for a friend

I’m just asking for a friend
