Lyrics Foster The People – Best Friend

(When your best friend’s all strung out)
You do everything you can
‘Cause you’re never gonna let it get ’em down
(When you find it all around)

Feelings sleeping, in the field again,
But, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, it’s beginning to end
Yeah, premonition smiling in the dark
Oh, I can see, I can see, I can see the story’s starting to arc

Ohhh ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh

It dries up
I’ve been a spoken word
I’ve been a river bed
I’ve been a rabid force
And let it flow out from within
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
And color’s so oh!

(When your best friend’s all strung out)
You do everything you can
‘Cause you’re never gonna let it get ’em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, you say it’s what you need
And hide your eyes when you’re close to me
(With your feet up in the clouds)
Well, it comes in waves, but it’s hardest from the start

Waves in theta, slipping into dreams
Oh, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel the celestial beings
Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath
I can see, I can see, I can see the beauty in the mess

Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhh

It dries up
I’ve been a river bed
I tried to salt the wound
I’ve carried more than I can
I feel I’ve got a lot to prove
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh, ohhh
But color’s so oh!

(When your best friend’s all strung out)
You do everything you can
‘Cause you’re never gonna let it get ’em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, you say it’s what you need
You hide your eyes when you’re close to me
(With your feet up in the clouds)
You oughta know
That I’m here no matter where you go
(With your head hanging upside-down)
Well, it comes in waves, but it’s hardest from the start

I am here, no matter where you are
I’m waiting here with, open arms, no matter where you are
Sometimes you have to wait,
Until it passes by like a satellite or star
No matter where you are

(When your best friend’s all strung out)
You know it
Ooh-hoooo-hooooo
(With your feet up in the clouds)
Oh, yeah, you know it
Ooh-hoooo-Ooh hooooo

(When your best friend’s all strung out)
Oh, yeah, you know it
You oughta know
That I’m here no matter where you go
(With your head, hanging upside-down)
Yeah, you know when
That’s how you know
When your best friend’s all strung out
