Friends and Lovers
Harmony of Hearts: Embracing Love and Friendship
Lyrics
What would you think if I told you
Expressing a hypothetical scenario, asking for a reaction to a forthcoming revelation
I've always wanted to hold you?
Admitting a long-standing desire to embrace the listener
I don't know what we're afraid of
Reflecting uncertainty about the fears that are holding them back
Nothing would change if we made love
Asserting that making love wouldn't alter the current situation
So I'll be your friend
Committing to being a friend to the listener
And I'll be your lover
Committing to being a lover to the listener
'Cause, I know in our hearts we agree
Highlighting a mutual agreement in their hearts about not needing to choose between friendship and love
We don't have to be one or the other
Reiterating that they can be both a friend and a lover simultaneously
Yes, it's a chance that we're taking
Acknowledging the risk involved in taking a chance on their relationship
And somebody's heart may be breaking
Recognizing the potential emotional consequences for others
But we can't stop what's inside us
Stating the inevitability of their internal feelings
Our love for each other will guide us
Believing that their love will serve as a guiding force
So I'll be your friend
Reiterating the commitment to being a friend to the listener
And I'll be your lover
Reiterating the commitment to being a lover to the listener
'Cause, I know in our hearts we agree
Reaffirming the mutual agreement in their hearts about being both a friend and a lover
We don't have to be one or the other
Reiterating that they don't have to choose between friendship and love
I've been through you
Acknowledging shared experiences of challenges with each other
And you've been through me
Reciprocal acknowledgment of going through difficult times together
Sometimes a friend is the hardest to see
Noting the complexity of recognizing a friend in challenging situations
We always know when it's laid on the line
Highlighting the clarity when honesty and sincerity are at stake
Nobody else is as easy to find
Expressing the uniqueness of the listener's presence
So I'll be your friend
Reiterating the commitment to being a friend to the listener
And I'll be your lover
Reiterating the commitment to being a lover to the listener
Well, I know in our heart we agree
Reaffirming the mutual agreement in their hearts about being both a friend and a lover
We don't have to be one or the other
Reiterating that they don't have to choose between friendship and love
Other
Emphasizing the simultaneous nature of being a friend and a lover
