I Love My Friends
Foster the People Lyrics

All my friends are, they're on vacation
All of my friends are out having fun and enjoying their time off.

But I'm just stuck here in this parking lot
I'm feeling left out and lonely while my friends are away.

Well, looking for a mirror, I'm looking at a screen
I'm searching for validation and identity, but only finding illusions on my phone.

These pixelated dreams are blowing up my pocket
My digital distractions and desires are draining my wallet and energy.

I'll find some action, and cut the scene
I'll seek out excitement and adventure to escape my mundane reality.

I'm on a merry-go-round, I'm in a washing machine
I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle of repetition and chaos.

All of my friends, they don't do any favors
My friends aren't helpful or dependable, except when there's a party involved.

Unless they're partyin', then they got all of 'em
When it comes to social events and festivities, my friends are always ready to have a good time.

All of my friends, they blow all of the paycheck
My friends have poor financial habits and spend all their money recklessly.

They got no money, because they're dumb and reckless
Their lack of financial responsibility is causing them to be broke and in debt.

But I love my friends, I love my friends
Despite their flaws and shortcomings, I still have affection for my friends.

We've got each other, don't need no others
Our close bond and mutual support is enough to make us content and fulfilled.

We love being caught up in the action
We enjoy being part of exciting and dramatic situations.

Eating fire and smoke
We are willing to take risks and indulge in dangerous activities.

It's so pleasing to go crashing all alone
Sometimes, we enjoy experiencing chaos and destruction by ourselves.

You know it's nothing new, yeah we've been here before
We are familiar with the consequences and outcomes of our reckless behavior.

But let's take it to my house 'cause I know I want more
We want to continue having fun and pushing our limits, even if it means taking risks.

All of my friends, they're crawling on the weekend
My friends are bored and aimless on the weekends, searching for something to do.

Looking for something 'cause there's nothing to do
They are dissatisfied with their mundane routines and crave excitement and stimulation.

And all my friends, they always end up leaving
My friends have a tendency to move on to new opportunities and experiences quickly.

For something better when it's time to cruise
They are always looking for the next big thing and willing to leave their comfort zones.

Pull up on Thursday, we'll make you groove again
We are planning to have a party on Thursday to lift our spirits and have fun together.

Even though the days feel long and the nights feel just the same
We are feeling stuck in a monotonous routine and need to shake things up.

Well I believe that forced a drink and the stars stay satisfied
We think that alcohol and partying will bring us happiness and fulfillment.

To live in a safer place where there's peaceful paradise
We wish to escape our current reality and create a more peaceful and enjoyable life for ourselves.

We're a disaster, yeah you know it's true
Despite our flaws and destructive tendencies, we still love and support each other through thick and thin.
