I know everyone else thinks this song is just about "Friendship." Others here have written that it's about a guy who wants to turn a female "FRIEND" into his steady Girlfriend, and BEGIN to date her. Hmmn....I have always felt that their relationship is a bit further along than that. I feel that this song is about a guy who has already been with this Girlfriend for awhile now, but he realizes that what he really wants IS TO MARRY HER!!! Thus, the lyric: "It's time to bring this ship into the shore, and throw away the oars FOREVER! (He said FOREVER.)
