Friend
Dai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you head to toe burning up
I come alive with you tonight
Looking up at the sky
Wondering if we’ll be alright
Always looking my way middle of a conversation
Afraid of taking offense so I never bother telling you
And it never made sense
What if got we got it all wrong
Cause we’re just friends
And I don’t want to be
Want to feel your breath
Love you differently
We’re just friends
And too blind to see
That we want each other
Scared of history
We’re just friends
Cause we’re just friends
We’re just friends
Cause we’re just friends
Every time you catch me staring we just move on
Can we talk about the feelings that we linger on
And I want to make up take a drive without no worries
I just want to wake up in a room without nobody else
And it never made sense
What if got we got it all wrong
Cause we’re just friends
And I don’t want to be
Want to feel your breath
Love you differently
We’re just friends
And too blind to see
That we want each other
Scared of history
We’re just friends
Cause we’re just friends




We’re just friends
Cause we’re just friends

Overall Meaning

The song "Friend" by dai/M.Graveyard is a poignant portrayal of unrequited love between two individuals who are just friends. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of longing and fear of the unknown, as the singer wonders if they will ever take the leap from friendship to romance. The first verse describes the physical attraction that the singer feels for their friend, as they observe them head to toe, burning up from within. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer does not want to remain just friends, but is too afraid to express their true feelings for fear of damaging their friendship. The second verse delves deeper into the emotional connection between the two individuals, as the singer yearns for a closer, more intimate relationship.


One of the most striking elements of the song is the repetition of the phrase, "And it never made sense". This suggests a frustration and confusion on the part of the singer as they struggle to understand their own feelings and the mixed signals coming from their friend. The bridge of the song includes a plea from the singer for honesty and vulnerability, as they ask if they can talk about their feelings and dreams without fear or inhibition. Overall, "Friend" is a poignant, heartfelt exploration of the complexity of romantic attraction and the difficulty of navigating the sometimes blurry boundaries between friendship and love.
