Canada was just an idea we had before it fell apart Pile in the van and there's some bottles from Denver to Vancouver And I was my mother's age when she first ran away And in my confidence, I'd hidden that from you I was 24, I'd been in love before Woah-ooh (no, we're just friends With your head on my lap) In Salt Lake City, all the waitresses asked if we were sisters (just friends, with your head on my lap) The hotel in Reno asked if we'd be sharing a bed (oh you mustn't sleep on the floor, don't sleep on the floor) We stopped at my dad's in Sacramento and I showed you my collection (I'll get lost in your house, can you show me around) Breath on the back of my neck, on the back of my neck (breath on the back of my neck) I was 24, I'd been in love before And in my false hopes, the mathematics was already done And if I'd called home, my message would have been one of the sun When I crawled into your window, I was cold and you were warm Then your heat ran up my neck And I was tangled in your form You kept lilacs by the bed (No we're just friends No we're just friends No we're just friends No we're just friends) You said I'd never be cold again But you know how it gets In the mountains You said that I'd never need a bed Baby it's down to ten You didn't offer Maybe to you it is familiar Maybe to you it is familiar, oh Maybe to you it is familiar Maybe to you it is familiar Canada was just an idea we had before it fell apart Pile in the van and there's some bottles from Denver to Vancouver And I was my mother's age when she first ran away And in my confidence, I'd hidden that, I'd hidden that from you
