Lyrics Jesse Rutherford – Hollywood Friends

Hey, welcome to LA. Break a leg
(Daytrip took it to ten)

Hollywood friends, you and I
At least we could say we tried

Met you at the fest (Yeah)
I liked how you were dressed (Fresh)
You said you liked my shit (Aight)
Never knew you were obsessed (Now I do)
Rolling with the crew that I like (That I like)
So I gave you the invite (The invite)
Smoking backwoods all night (All night)
Guess I got your hopes too high

You would tell me all about the drama with your friends
I’d listen, and I admit I’d ask you some questions
Even had your back when people started talking shit
But I couldn’t grant every wish

Cause I’m not a genie
I want you to leave me alone
And if you see me around
I’ll act like nothing’s wrong

Hollywood friends, you and I
At least we could say we tried
And in the end, you were right
Maybe you were just too shy

Never meant to break your heart
Never meant to lead you on
Know you wanna be a star
‘Round here so does everyone
If you’re pretty and your mom and dad are famous you might make it
But good luck if you’re anywhere near basic
Gotta be shameless
Entertainment is a different kind of danger
You might need a lightsaber for those

Hollywood friends, you and I
At least we could say we tried (I mean we met here)
And in the end, you were right (So, what’d you expect?)
Maybe you were just too shy
For some Hollywood friends (Come again next time)
Like us (Good luck)
In a place where it’s hard to trust
Anybody with all these flashing lights (Oh no, oh yeah)
And everybody wants to shine
Hollywood Friends

(Leave me at the Hollywood sign)
(See you at the Hollywood sign)
Hollywood Friends
(Leave me at the Hollywood sign)
Hollywood Friends
