Friend
Rebecca Moreland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sittin' alone don't know what to do
Cause the pain is creepin' in like night
I can't even see the light
Taste of lonely in an empty glass
Bottle of wine never went so fast
Burning growing in my chest
I could really use a friend right now,
I could really use a friend
Somebody to calm me down
and pull me out of this
Cause everybody has let me down,
My whole world is spinning round
So make the silence not so loud
I could really use a friend right now
Wake in the morning with a heavy head,
Pull it together just to crawl out of bed
I can't keep going on like this, no
I can't keep going on like this
So many voices-you're the one I want to call
Won't you come in, crash down these walls
I put on a front like I'm doin' fine,
But the truth is that I'm fading inside
I could really use a friend right now,
I could really use a friend
Somebody to calm me down
and pull me out of this
Cause everybody has let me down,
My whole world is spinning round
So make the silence not so loud
I could really use a friend right now
I've been so strong for so long, can't hold it in
Can I trust you to tell it all to?
Will you stay or just go runnin'?
I could really use a friend right now,
I could really use a friend
So won't you come calm me down and pull me out of this?
Say you won't let me down,
My whole world is spinning round
So make the silence not so loud
I could really use a friend right now
The lyrics of Rebecca Moreland's song "Friend" express feelings of loneliness, pain, and the longing for someone to lean on during difficult times.

In the chorus, the singer conveys their deep need for a friend. They feel let down by everyone around them and their world seems to be spinning out of control. They yearn for someone to calm their racing thoughts and make the deafening silence more bearable. The second verse reveals the singer's struggle to keep up a facade of strength while they are actually crumbling inside. They reach out to someone, hoping they will come and break down the walls they've built.

Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation for companionship and support during a time of emotional turmoil. The singer longs for a friend who will not let them down, someone who can bring them comfort and help them navigate their troubled world.
