The Academic – Why Can't We Be Friends? lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't leave me here, especially not with her
You've heard of people getting lost
Here we don't even talk
Don't drink my fear
When I've had too much
You've heard of people getting lost
I wanna see you in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new

[Chorus]
I say don't let me go
And you say why can't we be friends
All night I watch it burn
And you say why can't we be friends
Talk to me and tell me how this one goes
I need a taxi

[Bridge]
This world is pointless
If you’re not here
This world is pointless
If we're not self-destructing love

[Pre-Chorus]
And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new
And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something

[Chorus]
I say don't let me go
And you say why can't we be friends
All night I watch it burn
And you say why can't we be friends
Talk to me and tell me how this one goes
I need a taxi

[Pre-Chorus]
And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new
And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something

[Chorus]
I say don't let me go
And you say why can't we be friends
All night I watch it burn
And you say why can't we be friends
Talk to me and tell me how this one goes
I need a taxi
