I'd love to hug you back, she's thinking   His arms wrapped around her   Hers in her pockets by her side   And have we had enough to drink yet   To excuse ourselves?   Beginnings dressed as endings tonight      And we're not quite "just friends"   And we're just not quite lovers   We're so romantic, the way we come apart   And we're not quite "just friends"   And we're just not quite lovers   We're so romantic, the way we fail      Go quickly through the night in taxis   Testing our intentions through   Touches, little touches, so light   We're carefully here   We're so quietly near   T-t-t-touches, little touches, so slight      And we're not quite "just friends"   And we're just not quite lovers   We're so romantic, the way we come apart   And we're not quite "just friends"   And we're just not quite lovers   We're so romantic, the way we fail   The way we fail.
