Friends And Family lyrics
by Oliver Walker
[Chorus]
I’ve lost friends and I’ve lost family
That’s alright, that’s life I suppose
Those words, denial but that’s me
That’s alright, I have time to grow
[Post-Chorus]
I hope
My friends and family
Don’t know
[Verse]
Sitting by the lake, “this is a story about my friends”
I smoke two fags, feel the smoke in my lungs
Before the day ends and this wave that I
Surf on is no longer calming down
I’m stuck inside the tunnel and I’m looking for a road back around
They used to pick on each other and hope to see a smile
I thought maybe when we grow up that we’d change
Just for a while, 17 don’t feel that long ago
Since then I have been on a roll
Triеd some medication but that did not help
I was not afloat, barеly though
I was looking at Mexico, looking for a way out
She told me stories about her friends
And how they left her by the road
Getting high we’d scratch, sniff, we’d even lick toads
Anything to feel a buzz, something she saw on TikTok
How to make a bong from a Coca Cola can like
We ain’t got a bong, we’d do the most
Just to pass the time before the funerals arrive
We were always the youngest so we knew we’d survive
Passed family members that I’d never thought I’d pass by
“Even at 80 years old, you never expect someone to die”
She’d say in a way that made it seem
Like it was bigger than you and I
But death is the only thing promise in this City of Angels
And City of Lies so that’s when I say to the sky—
[Chorus]
I’ve lost friends and I’ve lost family
That’s alright, that’s life I suppose
Those words, denial but that’s me
That’s alright, I have time to grow
[Post-Chorus]
(Friends and family)
Well, I hope (Friends and family)
My friends and family (Friends and family)
Don’t know (Friends and family)
[Verse]
Crossed out new lines
Green lights, they pass by
Streetlights, headlights
Cars fly in the night time
Old words, old text
Old people, new sex
Old money, new things
Sitcoms, no laughing
And this is it, don’t fight it again
Write it all down and phone a friend
Yellow pages, where do we begin?
In the city of all our dead friends
Shooting left and right, you can take the night
You can take the night, if you, if you
Yeah, I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna leave
You don’t wanna see, what you need to see
So don’t look at me
[Chorus]
I’ve lost friends and I’ve lost family
That’s alright, that’s life I suppose
Those words, denial but that’s me
That’s alright, I have time to grow
[Post-Chorus]
(Friends and family)
Well, I hope (Friends and family)
My friends and family (Friends and family)
Don’t know (Friends and family)
[Bridge]
(Friends and family)
Friends and family (Friends and family)
Friends and family (Friends and family)
Friends and family (Friends and family)
Friends and family (Friends and family)
Friends and family (Friends and family)
Friends and family (Friends and family)
Friends and family (Friends and family)
[Outro]
I’ve lost friends and I’ve lost family
That’s alright, that’s life I suppose
Those words, denial but that’s me
That’s alright, I have time to grow
(Friends and family, friends and family)
