La La Song
Friends Lyrics

An old flame came into town
A past romantic interest returned to the singer's hometown

We drank sake, ate a plate full of sushi
The singer and the old flame shared a meal and drinks together

Reminisced about the old days
They talked and reflected on their past experiences

That one time in eighth grade she held my hand at the movies
A specific memory of the old flame holding the artist's hand in eighth grade while watching a movie

It's good to see you, Kate
The artist expresses joy at seeing the old flame, addressed as Kate

Somehow you still can't spell my name
The old flame still struggles to correctly spell the singer's name

It's I one S and two A's C
The correct spelling of the singer's name is clarified as 'I one S and two A's C'

It ain't that hard
The artist reassures that spelling their name correctly isn't difficult

I wonder about you from time to time
The artist occasionally thinks about the old flame

Making your way like an angel trapped in a maze
The artist sees the old flame navigating life's complexities with grace and vulnerability

You step into my frames when your Mama's name pops up in Facebook memories
The old flame's presence is felt by the singer when they see their mother's name in Facebook memories

How's she doin' by the way
The artist inquires about the well-being of the old flame's mother

Is she still living in the same place
The singer asks if the old flame's mother still resides in the same location

I still feel fifteen on Chamberlayne when I'm driving to the highway
The singer recalls a youthful and nostalgic feeling when passing through Chamberlayne on their way to the highway

How is LA treatin' you, baby
The singer asks how the old flame is faring in Los Angeles

Are you being good
The artist inquires about the old flame's behavior and well-being

Are you sleeping like you should
The artist asks if the old flame is getting sufficient rest

You did me dirtier than campsite shoes
The old flame hurt the singer more deeply than dirty shoes from a camping trip

Broke my heart back in high school
The old flame caused emotional pain to the singer during their high school days

Now we're blowing out fumes like cumulus plumes
The artist and the old flame are expressing their frustrations and grievances

I have high hopes for you
The artist still holds optimistic expectations for the old flame

How is LA treating you babe
The artist reiterates their earlier question about the old flame's experience in Los Angeles

Are you being good
The singer repeats their inquiry about the old flame's behavior and well-being

Are you sleeping like you should
The artist once again asks if the old flame is getting sufficient rest

Have all of your dreams come true
The singer wonders if the old flame has achieved all their aspirations

I hope
The singer expresses their wish for the old flame's dreams to come true

But it seems nothin's ever gonna go right
The singer suggests that things often go wrong or don't work out as expected

That grass is greener on the flip side
The artist acknowledges the phenomenon of perceiving other situations as more favorable

Well I've been there too
The artist empathizes with having experienced similar feelings

Still felt blue
Despite having been in similar situations, the singer still felt sad

Heaven's in your heart
The singer believes that happiness and goodness can be found within oneself

Hell is in the mind
The artist suggests that internal struggles or negative thoughts can create a sense of hellishness

Fake it til you make it but stay kind
The artist advises pretending to be okay until improved circumstances are achieved, while maintaining kindness

Cry your eyes and get em next time
The artist encourages the old flame to express their emotions and keep trying despite setbacks

Are you eatin' good

Do you feel understood

Have all of your dreams come true
The singer reiterates their question about the fulfillment of the old flame's dreams

I hope

I hope they do
The singer expresses their continued hope for the old flame's dreams to come true
