Not Available Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why I'm writing you this song
Went to the same class once at school
Both looked in daddy's car so cool
You were my best friend, a better one than everyone
Simply best friends, that's what we were
Friends
Then our turning point has come
I was no longer number one
A sweet little girl, she took my place
And so she ended the good days
You were my best friend, a better one than everyone
Simply best friends, that's what we were
Friends
And all I wanna tell you now,
Is keeping close to friends somehow
If there is one who would do everything for you,
Don't put him on your number two
You were my best friend, a better one than everyone
Simply best friends, that's what we were
Friends
The song "Friends" by Not Available talks about the nostalgia and bittersweet feelings of looking back on a close friendship that has changed over time. The first stanza sets the scene, with the singer reminiscing about how they and their friend were once classmates who were both so cool. They emphasize the length of their friendship, highlighting that they've known each other for a long time, and this is why they feel compelled to write this song.
However, the song takes a turn in the second stanza when the singer talks about how their friendship was no longer number one after a sweet little girl took their place. This suggests that the friend they are addressing became romantically involved with someone, and the singer is feeling left out and hurt. The nostalgia in the first stanza turns a little bit more mournful in the second, but the chorus still asserts that they cherished their friendship and still remember it fondly.
