Why is this song about a platonic friend? It sounds like love, which would mean they are best friends, but not in a platonic way. Most friends are not going to be lying on the ground in the dark behind a house as they look up at the moon. And most would not say that they don't wish to live without the other. Very few platonic friendships are THAT close. The song, to me, sounds as though it's about lovers who are actually in love with each other, so the best friend part is a given:)
