I've posted this song before, but it has quite a few changes and different drums. This is one of my favorite of my songs, so I keep trying to make it better.

Just Friends

You are charged with the kind of motivation
that always takes my breath away
The day we met I sent you running through my heart
Switching on the lights and turning darkness into day

Locked in breathless emotion
Swinging to the sound of your voice
So anxious to know and desperate to show
I'm not just one of the boys

But I know
as quickly as it begins
the risk is coming
it's hard to pretend
Keep it to yourself
Don't let on we're just friends
I was captured by the same anticipation
that always seems to follow you
Hanging on to every word that passed your lips
Enchanted by the style in every little thing you do

It's just an illusion
a dream that I made for you
I'll keep it inside, hang on to my pride
for dreams have a way of coming true

And I know
I can hear it coming
and once it's said
it's hard to pretend
I don't want to hear it
You don't have to share it
Keep it to yourself
Don't tell me we're just

Friends don't give up their secrets
Friends don't kiss in tha moonlight
Friends don't put their thoughts away
and hold onto each other in the middle of the night

I don't want to hear it, I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just
I don't want to hear it , I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just friends
not just friends
I don't want to be just friends
No, not just friends

Will, don't think I remember this song, but I really like it!! You have a great melodic retro rock sound that I always enjoy. This is really nice-well sung, mixed, and easy to listen to! Take care. Greg

Will,

Very good song with a catchy riff!
This took me back to some of the great guitar driven 80`s Brit. bands - I can hear The Jam and maybe Graham Parker.
I missed the earlier version but your vocal is good and the mix sounds fine to me.

Robert

Thank you all. This is one of my favorite songs because I'm not familiar with another song that tries to capture this feeling, please don't tell me we're just friends.

Love the riff in this -- the octave fuzz style sound really really works well. Switching between the double-tracked vocals and solo vocals is really effective as well. Awesome job, Will! Glad you posted this again

Very cool song It reminded me of a mid sixties vibe.

really enjoyed the groove in this one. sweet rocker!

Will,you took me back to the late 60's/early 70's reminding me of some of my favorite music from then (Badfinger, Yardbirds etc. Liked the panning of the guitars. Thanks, Torrey

Will,

Cool rock song!

Loved the group vocal sound and the jangly 12 string electric.

Great work,
Jez
