If I could right now I'd like to be your mother
So I could give to you and not have to explain
I would brush your hair and tell you you'll be alright
And if you cried, well, you would not feel ashamed

But I, I am just a friend
And I will try again, again

If I could right now I'd like to be your journal
So you could tell me everything right on the page
And I'd never misunderstand you or say the wrong thing
And I would not feel deserted by your rage

But I, I am just a friend
And I will try again, again

If I could right now I'd like be a full moon
So I could rise up just to keep you company
And you could wonder out loud to me about the strange things
And you would think I understood the mysteries

But I, I am just a friend
And I will try again, again
