Although “Friends To Go” is about something fairly mundane, it was as close as Paul came to writing a tribute to George Harrison, who had died of lung cancer four years previously.
Paul’s description of the songwriting process varied, sometimes describing it as an impersonation of George:
To me it...
[Verse 1]
I've been waitin' on the other side
For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide
I prefer they didn't know
So I've been waitin' on the other side
For your friends to go
[Verse 2]
I've been sliding down a slippery slope
I've been climbing up a slowly burning rope
But the flame is getting low
I've been waiting on the other side
For your friends to go
[Bridge]
You never need to worry about me
I'll be fine on my own
Someone else can worry about me
I've spent a lot of time on my own
I've spent a lot of time on my own
[Verse 2]
I've been waitin' till the danger passed
I don't know how long the storm is going to last
If we're going to carry on
I'll be waitin' on the other side
Till your friends are gone
So tell me what I want to know
I'll be waitin' on the other side
For your friends to go
[Bridge]
Someone else can worry about me
I've spent a lot of time on my own
I've spent a lot of time on my own
[Verse 1]
I've been waitin' on the other side
For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide
I prefer they didn't know
So I've been waiting on the other side
For your friends to go
[Outro]
I've been waitin' on the other side
I've been waitin' on the other side
For your friends to go
