A friend went away to another town
Where you set your watch to the sound of a pound
The first girl I loved soon followed it seemed

And when the second one went we were choosing teams
She got hers and I got mine
But somehow everybody seem to get on fine

But we were losing friends over love
Losing friends over love


When I went out just the other night
I said "put your hands up, cause we're gonna fight"
But who am I to act so tough

When I learn so little and forget so much
Now the heart will break when it hits the ground
So wake up little girl you're a woman now

But we were losing friends over love
Losing friends over love


Alright now

Some move forward and some move back

Some buy a ticket and don't come back
How did everything go wrong
We're all just trying to carry on


Some go up and some fall down
Some buy a ticket and leave this town

How did everything go wrong
We're all just trying to carry on


No one says a word but their lips are poised
Cause everybody's got an opinion of course
And we were losing friends over love

Losing friends over love
All the stupid Things you do at night
When you been up for three days and you're so uptight

And we were losing friends over love
Losing friends over love
Losing friends over love

Losing friends over love

Alright now


Some move forward and some move back
Some buy a ticket and don't come back

How did everything go wrong
We're all just trying to carry on


Some go up and some fall down
Some buy a ticket and leave this town
How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on

She could run away to London

She could run overseas
A merry go round in another town
It all seems the same to me


Alright now


Some move forward and some move back
Some buy a ticket and don't come back
How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on

Some go up and some fall down

Some buy a ticket and leave this town
How did everything go wrong
We're all just trying to carry on


Some go up and some fall down
Some buy a ticket and leave this town

How did everything go wrong
We're all just trying to carry on


We're all just trying to carry on
