I got this song I’ve heard on the radio a few times, and I really like it quite a lot, but it’s always on in the middle of the night or otherwise at a time when there’s no dj doing stuff. Maybe there’s a janitor paid a little extra to make sure all of the cd’s are ticking over like they’re supposed to, but still nobody to announce any artist names or such-like.  
Anyway, I figured that given how well all the ‘Help ID this short story/novel’ threads go, I might give this song thread a chance.  
So, here’s the lyrics I can recall:  
“When I see you out with others  
I wonder are we only friends, or lovers?  
I dream of waking by your side,  
feel you kisses, hear your sighs.  
I’m wondering.  
Is this just a should’ve been, a could’ve been,  
a would’ve been, I’m wondering.”

Does that by chance ring a bell with anybody, I hope?
