In "Just Friends," Snoh Aalegra circles a relationship that keeps restarting only to collapse again. She admits she falls back too easily, yet doubts anything will change. The label of friendship rings hollow when her partner still asks who has been kissing her skin and needs space after a year apart. The push and pull leaves her clutching nothing, unable to explain why she keeps holding on.
Just Friends Lyrics by Snoh Aalegra
Can we start over
For you to still pretend?
Can we start over
Until it ends again?
I can agree, it’s on me
Falling right back, oh, too easily
I don’t believe that
We’ll feel differently
When we’re just friends
When we’re just friends
(When we’re just) Friends
(When we’re just) Friends
(When we’re just) Friends
Say, if we’re just friends
Why can’t you get comfortable?
Talking about where you been
And who’s been kissing on my skin
If we’re just friends
If we’re just friends
Then why all the need for space?
You haven’t seen me in 365 days
Talk about waste
I can agree, it’s on me
Falling right back, oh, too easily
And I don’t believe that
We’ll feel differently
When we’re just friends
When we’re just friends
(When we’re just) Friends
(When we’re just) Friends
(When we’re just) Friends
It’s always one step forward then two steps back around
I’m holding onto nothing and I can’t even tell you why
I keep holding on to, holding on to nothing
