Friendly Fire
Jamie Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you need a little drinking but your body ainβ²t lying
Now it's come around baby
And here we go again
We said weβ²d never go to war
Now there's nothing left worth fighting for
We started off so good
We can barely stand up in the ruins
Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire
Look at how we got caught up, yeah, didnβ²t mean to hurt you
Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire
Look at how we got caught up, yeah, didnβ²t mean to hurt you
Here you come again baby with your love
You got the same old look in your eye, my god
And now you tell me I'm crazy
So here we go again
You say youβ²d never go to war
Now there's nothing left worth fighting for
We started off so good
But now were battered and weβ²re bruised
We can barely stand up in the ruins
Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire
Look at how we got caught up, yeah, didn't mean to hurt you
Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire
Look at how we got caught up, yeah, didnβ²t mean to hurt you
I wanna lie under the stars tonight
Dreaming of somebody who holds me
I wanna lie under the stars tonight
Dreaming of somebody who knows me
Here we go again
We said we'd never go to war
Now there's nothing left worth fighting for
We started off so good
But now were battered and weβ²re bruised
We can barely stand up in the ruins
Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire
Look at how we got caught up, yeah, didnβ²t mean to hurt you
Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire
Look at how we got caught up, yeah, didn't mean to hurt you
In Jamie Scott's song "Friendly Fire," the lyrics describe a relationship that has been through a lot of ups and downs. The lines "We said weβd never go to war, now thereβs nothing left worth fighting for" indicate that the couple has been through a lot of disagreements and conflicts that have left them feeling drained and weary. Despite this, they can't seem to fully let go of each other, as demonstrated by the lines "Here you come again baby with your love, you got the same old look in your eye, my god." The repeated phrase "Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire" emphasizes the idea that their relationship has become a battle that they never intended to engage in, and that they're both responsible for the pain they've caused each other.
The chorus' last two lines, "Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire, yeah, didnβt mean to hurt you," convey a sense of regret and longing for a way to make things right. The desire for resolution is further expressed in the end of the song when the singer wishes to "lie under the stars tonight, dreaming of somebody who knows me." Overall, "Friendly Fire" is a poignant reflection on the difficulties of navigating a complex, sometimes painful relationship and the desire for forgiveness and understanding.
Line by Line Meaning
You can carry all you want but your body calls time
You may think you're okay, but your body will eventually show you when it's had enough
You say you need a little drinking but your body ain't lying
You may say you need a drink, but your body is telling you that you don't
Now it's come around baby
We're back to where we started
And here we go again
We're stuck in a repeating pattern
We said we'd never go to war
We promised to avoid conflict
Now there's nothing left worth fighting for
We don't have a good reason to continue arguing
We started off so good
Things used to be great between us
But now were battered and we're bruised
We've been through a lot and it's taken a toll
We can barely stand up in the ruins
Our relationship is in tatters
Look at how we got caught up in the friendly fire
We hurt each other unintentionally
Look at how we got caught up, yeah, didn't mean to hurt you
We didn't intend to harm each other
Here you come again baby with your love
You're trying to rekindle our relationship
You got the same old look in your eye, my god
I recognize that longing in your eyes
And now you tell me I'm crazy
You're questioning my sanity
I wanna lie under the stars tonight
I want to escape and dream of a better reality
Dreaming of somebody who holds me
Yearning for someone to comfort and support me
Dreaming of somebody who knows me
Longing for someone to fully understand me

You can carry all you want
but your body calls time,
you say you need a little drinking
but your body ain't lying.
Now it's come around baby
and here we go again
we said we'd never go to war
now there's nothing left worth fighting for
we started off so good
but now we're battered and we're bruised
we can barely stand up in the ruins
Look at how we got caught up
in the friendly fire!
Look at how we got caught up
didn't mean to hurt you!
Look at how we got caught up
in the friendly fire!
Look at how we got caught up
I didn't mean, to hurt you.
Here you come again baby, with your love
you got the same old look in your eye, my god
and now you tell me I'm crazy
So here we go again
you said we'd never go to war
now there's nothing left worth fighting for
we started off so good
but now we're battered and we're bruised
we can barely stand up in the ruins
Look at how we got caught up
in the friendly fire!
Look at how we got caught up
didn't mean to hurt you!
Look at how we got caught up
in the friendly fire!
Look at how we got caught up
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I wanna lie under the stars tonight
dreaming of somebody who holds me!
I wanna lie under the stars tonight
dreaming of somebody who knows me!
Here we go again
we say we'd never go to war
now there's nothing left worth fighting for
we started off so good
but now we're battered and we're bruised
we can barely stand up in the ruins
Look at how we got caught up
in the friendly fire!
Look at how we got caught up
didn't mean to hurt you!
Look at how we got caught up
in the friendly fire!
Look at how we got caught up
I didn't mean to hurt you...

@BunniesXO
Glad you're back to making music. Love this
@laurenperez9755
So relaxing π love it!
@alejandro1979
Great track. Iβm a soul and R&B lover and your music is the only guitar based music I like as your voice has that cross over appeal due to how soulful it sounds. Since I heard the βJustβ Feel Good Remix I was hooked. This is mellow and a great listen. If there were still physical media as before Iβd be out buying the 12β single and spinning it!
@wkd5000
Me too would spin! Love a good piece of wax.
