[Verse 1]
We were younger then
We were half the age
We could see it all through a careless lens
My friend
Was it all an act?
Was it just pretend?
Does it hurt to see how our smiles have changed?
My friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I took it all for granted
I lived it like a dream
I was always the first person you'd call when you needed me
Everything is changing
And this is how it's gotta be
But how can something so beautiful leave me so desperately?
[Chorus]
All of my friends in the corner
Everybody's looking like they need someone
Together we're not getting older
But everybody's looking like they need someone
All of my friends in the corner
Everybody's looking like they need someone
Together we're not getting older
But everybody's looking like they need someone
[Verse 2]
So let's misbehave
These are troubled days
When my home was yours
We were always safe
My friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I took it all for granted
I lived it like a dream
I was always the first person you'd call when you needed me
Everything is changing
And this is how it's gotta be
But how can something so beautiful leave me so desperately?
[Chorus]
All of my friends in the corner
Everybody's looking like they need someone
All of my friends in the corner
Everybody's looking like they need someone
Together we're not getting older
But everybody's looking like they need someone
[Bridge]
Do you need someone?
Do you need someone?
Everybody's looking like they need someone
Do you need someone?
Do you need someone?
Everybody's looking like they need someone
[Chorus]
All of my friends in the corner
Everybody's looking like they need someone
Pretending we don't fear the morning
But everybody's looking like they need someone
[Outro]
Do you, do you, do you, do you?
Do you, do you, do you, do you?
Friends in the Corner was written by James Flannigan & Foxes.

A September 2020 NME article quotes Foxes saying:
