Joshua Radin – Friend Like You Lyrics 16 years ago
To me this seems to be someone who just has someone who will be there for them, always. He seems to be singing in this verse to someone:
The girl you love has gone away
Still too young to know her heart
She'll return her love renewed
'Cause she'll never find a friend like you

i think he's saying that his friend's gf/ lover has left him but if he stays a friend and stays beside her as a friend, she will find her heart and see that the best lover is a friend.
