Friend
Eric & the French Press Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I love her
I'm just not interested in another
Sometimes you hitch it up
And go down the road
doing nothing but growing old
Sometimes we take for granted we're not alone
Sometimes we take for granted we're not alone
Joy in my soul
Taking a ride on the open road
Her hand in my lap and I'm falling
In love again
She's still my friend
She makes me smile
I make her laugh
I'm her bass drum
She's my treble clef
We switch it up
And go far away
Trying to slow down growing old
Sometimes we take for granted we're not alone
Sometimes we take for granted we're not alone
Dark clouds in the rearview
Joy in my soul
Taking a ride on the open road
Her hand in my lap and I'm falling
In love again
She's still my friend
It's not an open road for me
If she's not right beside me
When she's gone it leaves a vacancy
But I know she's coming up beside me
Sometimes we take for granted we're not alone
Sometimes we take for granted we're not alone
Dark clouds in the rearview
Joy in my soul
Taking a ride on the open road
Her hand in my lap and I'm falling
In love again
She's still my friend
Her hand on my back and I'm falling
In love again
She's still my friend.

He's calling the press a bunch of seagulls and they are expecting sardines. People he's not that out there, he's just actually literate as a footballer.
@AH-be6bu
He's calling them stupid as well. Seagulls can easily go and look for their own fish instead of hanging around trying to get someone else's.
@weakypickin5059
I'm guessing the sardines symbolise the juicy news stories they chase.
@osousa17
No, he's trolling. This doesn't mean Jack. He said it later in an interview I think
