Official audio of Friend by Ethan Hopkins
I wrote the two first lines of this song after a breakup I had. Actually it wasn't even a breakup, it was just a girl I liked and we had an argument and I realized we weren't right for each other. I was really upset about it and this was the first song I wrote. I memorized the first two lines and the melody until I got home and played it on the ukulele I had. Eventually the rest of the song came to me. Really the first song I wrote so I love it
Well I’m feeling sort of low
God knows I’m trying to take it slow
And I know that lately,
I’ve been soundin’ crazy
So I hope that all my plans
Don’t go buried in the sand
And I hope that I don’t
Have to let you go
Well I’ll be waiting for a long, long, time
in the line which is your arms
With burning and fire and music and your lips
And bells from the armies cause I swear
I swear they used to be my friends.
So listen to my voice
And it’s like I have a choice
Cause I would do anything to take it back
And I was so close
I could still make this
Your lips saved me from the apathy
And I know and I know and I know and God knows
That I’ll be waiting for a long, long, time
in the line which is your arms
With burning and fire and music and your lips
And bells from the armies cause I swear
I swear they used to be my friends.
I swear they used to be my friends
So won’t you be more than my Friend?
