Lyrics: Being able to see your smile from a distance That alone is enough for me Even if we're just friends, it's not strange to be close I see someone touching you, it's frustrating My one-sided feelings keep growing as the night gets late What should I do? Pretending not to notice or being halfway kind I want to cry Oh, I can't become just friends, I can't become just friends, oh Oh, why can't I touch you, there's no way I can, oh Oh, I can't become just friends, I can't become just friends, oh Because it doesn't mean anything if I'm not your number one, oh If I open up my heart, I hate it, it's impossible Even though I'm so good at lying, my heart is foolishly honest I don't need a kiss or a hug Let me have one kiss After all... Oh, I can't become just friends, I can't become just friends, oh Oh, I want to touch you right away, there's no way I can, oh Oh, I can't become just friends, I can't become just friends, oh Because I can't live if I'm hated by you, oh It's fine to have embarrassing fantasies and endless dreams In the graveyard Oh, I can't become just friends, I can't become just friends, oh Oh, why can't I touch you, there's no way I can, oh Oh, I can't become just friends, I can't become just friends, oh Because it doesn't mean anything if I'm not your number one, oh Explanation: "Tomodachi" (Friend) is a song by Utada Hikaru, a Japanese singer-songwriter.
