Will We Ever Be Friends Again? Lyrics – Bryan Adams

Will We Ever Be Friends Again? Lyrics Meaning

The song starts with memories of a carefree summer where everything felt exciting and full of life. The singer remembers the fun, the freedom, and how natural it all felt when they were young. Even though they tried to act cool, time moved on, the seasons changed, and the closeness they once had started to fade away.

Then comes the deep question that keeps coming back — whether they can ever be friends again. The singer is surprised at how much they fell for the other person and how strongly they still feel about it. There’s a sense of heartbreak in recalling the promises made back then, like the idea of marriage, and now he wonders if there’s any chance to see each other again.

He goes back to more memories of their adventures together, like driving out of town with the wind blowing and sharing passionate moments. But then reality hits when he wakes up to find that the other person is gone, almost as if the whole experience was just a dream. He admits he thought he was strong enough to handle it, but maybe he wasn’t.

The longing keeps coming back, and he wishes for even one chance to see that person again. Even though life has given him everything he could ask for, those summer memories still return, showing that nothing quite compares. The repeated question of whether they can ever reconnect shows he’s stuck between holding on to the past and hoping for a future where they meet again.
