Is there a song about this?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a song that relates to my situation? Here's a quick rundown of it.
I'm a 31 year-old, happily married guy with two kids. Over the past two years, I've developed a very close friendship and strong bond with one of my co-workers (female). She is a few years older, also happily married with two kids. Our kids are around the same age, and enjoy playing together. Both of our spouses are very cool people, and we all get together and hang out frequently. We've even spent weekends with them at their lake house. But over the past several months, my co-worker and I have become even closer. A lot of it has to do with her helping me through a very difficult time, where I've just begun to deal with abuse I suppressed from my childhood. I've had panic attacks/anxiety/depression, etc. She also went through the same thing, at around the same ages. We talk about this frequently, as well as other topics, and both agree that we seem to understand each other and connect to each other in ways we never will with our spouses. We now text each other frequently when we're not together, and rarely spend a day without communicating. Both of us have come to feel like something is missing if we aren't in contact daily. All that being said, I realize that this sounds like it is building up to either an affair or the two of us leaving our spouses and getting together. We've come to the conclusion, though, that neither of us wants this. We are both happy with our family situations, and neither of us would ever cheat. We've agreed that, had we met 10 years ago, we would probably have ended up together. But, circumstances being as they are, we will remain best friends and leave it at that.
Does anyone know of any song, Pearl Jam or otherwise, that tells a similar story? Thanks.
Peace and Love to all...

Yeah, right to the heavy stuff. That's how I roll
Anywho...the first song by Damien Jurado isn't quite right. Neither one of us is looking to cheat or leave our current relationship. It's more of a 'Maybe in another life' kind of thing. Thanks for introducing me to a great song though.
