“WHERE THE HELL ARE MY FRIENDS” describes the loneliness of life in a big city.

[Verse 1]
Where the hell are my friends?
Home alone, not again
Friday, wine, and the internet
The only love I seem to get
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't, and I don't, and I don't know why
I don't have anyone on a weekend night
Where the hell are my friends?
Where the hell are my friends?
[Chorus]
Am I starting to hate California?
Why am I in L.A?
40 million in California
No one cares if I stay
Am I starting to hate California?
Why am I in L.A?
40 million in California
But God, I'm so in love with this place
[Verse 2]
Where the hell are my friends?
Out without me again
Friday, wine, and the internet
A life I wish I could forget
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't, and I don't, and I don't know why
I don't have anyone on a weekend night
Where the hell are my friends?
Do I have any friends?
[Chorus]
Am I starting to hate California?
Why am I in L.A?
40 million in California
No one cares if I stay
Am I starting to hate California?
Why am I in L.A?
40 million in California
But God, I'm so in love with this place
[Bridge]
Am I starting to hate California?
40 million in California
[Chorus]
Am I starting to hate California?
Why am I in L.A?
40 million in California
But God, I'm so in love with this place
[Outro]
And I don't, and I don't, and I don't know why
I don't have anyone on a weekend night
Where the hell are my friends?
Where the hell are my friends?

Paul told AMBY:
I’m the most straightforward, simple writer ever so I was very much home alone on a Friday night. I was eating Chef Boyardee pasta and drinking $6 wine and I was like honestly where the hell are my friends? Because I know I have some.."
