Between Friends Lyrics

Weekend
The beginning of the song signifies their easy-breezy connection. They are two people who are probably in love, who are having fun on this weekend.

You light my fire like a cigarette
The person being addressed has a captivating effect on the singer. Even though it may not be in the best of ways, which is similar to having an addiction to cigarettes.

I see your colors
The singer is intrigued and fascinated by the different sides and personality traits that the person being addressed possesses.

Never forget me
The singer wants assurance that their relationship is meaningful and lasting. They want to be remembered even when they are not together.

We travel wild making our own streets
The duo is probably having an adventurous time together, exploring new, off-beat places, and making unforgettable memories.

Hard stop and I feel it even more, how?
The singer is unsure of their relationship being reciprocated. They might have hit a bump along the way, and it's bringing the uncertainty back.

Our hands are cold, are you sure now?
The singer needs reassurance from the partner that they are still in love, and they are willing to make it work even when things get rough.

Hotbox, quiet talks
The two are probably smoking weed and having deep emotional conversations, bonded and relaxed in each other's company.

Swimming pools at night
Their time together feels like a euphoric late-night swim, where they are carefree, weightless, and happy.

Skin sweet, incomplete
The singer is missing and wanting more of the person's touch, which is sweet but also leaves them feeling incomplete without it.

But you know what I like
The singer is expressing to the partner - 'you know me well, and now, you know what I want', as they grow together.

I love you tenderly tragically
The singer paradoxically loves the partner all-consuming and tenderly, but also mourns the fact that they are human and flawed, something tragic in itself.

Slow it down
Whether it's the pace of their growing relationship, or the tempo of the song, they want things to slow down for them to take it all in.

Your eyes are fading
The singer is noticing a change in the partner, whether it's a waning love or something in their personal life that might be affecting them.

Turn up the sound
The singer wants to revisit those moments when everything was perfect, and they were both happy, which could be achieved by reliving memories, listening to songs or revisiting places they visited together in the past.

We used to run all night
The singer remembers feeling young and free, running around the city with the partner, going to clubs or just walking around, letting go of all reservations.

Never come down
The singer wants to remain in that moment forever, never coming back to the realities of life, where things are uncertain and ever-changing.

We trace through the seams your new car seat
Even the slightest hint of the partner reminds the singer of their time together, and how they once fit perfectly in each other's lives.

(I love you tenderly, tragically)
The singer repeats these lines to remind the partner that their love is both kind and mournful, passionate, and fearful.

Hotbox quiet talks
The singer gets back to the comfort of hotbox and quiet talks, where they can connect without any external disruptions.

Swimming pools at night
The duo wants to relive the experience of being carefree, weightless, and happy by heading to the swimming pool again to swim and talk.

Skin sweet, incomplete
The singer craves the sweetness of the partner's touch, but at the same time, feels incomplete without it.

I love you tenderly tragically
The singer repeats this line to drive home the point that their love is complicated and they can't do without the person being addressed.
