Best friends

It’s taken longer than i thought it would
From timbuktu to hollywood
Disquietude and fear of letting go

I caught him running through the ghetto
With short blonde hair
And a cocaine stare
In the corner there
Yeah his lips were white like snow

Best friends are girlfriends
With much thicker skin
And your friends ain’t my friends
Don’t know where they’ve been
And i’ve had more friends
Than i’ve had girlfriends
And i’ve lost much more as well

I burnt all of my bridges and I built a wall
Smoked a cigarette at the beggar’s ball
Maybe there’s a gateway after all

I was curled up in my hotel room
When i thought of you
With another dude
The world was mine
It was ninety nine
And the party was alright

Best friends are girlfriends
With much thicker skin
And your friends ain’t my friends
Don’t know where they’ve been
And i’ve had more friends
Than i’ve had girlfriends
And i’ve lost much more as well

Lay back
Lay back
Won’t you carry me home
Won’t you carry me

Lay back
Lay back
Lay back on your rocking chair
And watch the world collapse

Best friends are girlfriends
With much thicker skin
And your friends ain’t my friends
Don’t know where they’ve been
And i’ve had more friends
Then i’ve had girlfriends
And i’ve lost much more as well

Lay back
Lay back
Won’t you carry me home
Won’t you carry me

Lay back
Lay back
Lay back on your rocking chair
And watch the world collapse
