about

Another song that ponders what might have been from the perspective of someone wondering if they could maintain a post-relationship friendship. Lyrically the song is pretty clear, and the feel of the music conveys a kind of eeriness mixed with aggression to emphasise the disappointment bordering on anger that things didn’t turn out differently. The songwriting process started with the chorus which was built around one piano loop that I liked the sound of. From there the verses and the rest of the track took shape to evolve into the cacophony that we hear today.

lyrics

FRIENDS
If we could be friends
I know that things could be different
If we could be friends
I’d take back all the things I said
I’d talk to you again
Move on, forget the things you did
If we could be friends
I’d know you and your friends again
I’m wondering why
We can’t be in the same damn room
and I don’t know why
There’s so much hate coming from you
We’ve both moved on since then
Our time was good, we had it all
If we could be friends
I’d talk to you and your friends again
It’s not like I want anything from you
Just wouldn’t mind making things smooth
I hope that if I can forgive you
Neither one of us needs to move

If we could be friends
If we could stand each others’ face
If we could be friends
Then we could go to the same place
I’d let you in my life
If you could forget all the things I did
If we could be friends
You could call and that would be alright
If we, if we could be friends (if we could be friends)
I’d be friends with you and your friends again!
