My Friend
Suburban Legends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many days in the deep blue sea
I look around not knowing where I'm gonna be
I know I'm lost and I'll never find my way
Well, I've got a friend who's gonna help me
With his tune, he puts my life in harmony
He told me, "One day you're gonna be someone."
I don't see him every day
But when I do, my cares just go away

See my friend as swimming along (hey, hey)
A Reel Big Fish in a tiny pond (hey, hey)
He waves hello as he's singing his song
My friend
I love my friend
(We love him!)

So rad, he makes me feel so good
Everybody knows he's the boss of the neighborhood
He's got my back, so everything will be alright (alright, alright, alright)
Don't be stoops
Selling out is not an option
Even when the Forces of Evil, they be watching
That's what he said, "Someday you're gonna be someone." (You're gonna be someone)
Everybody get out of the way
My friend showed up, he's got something to say

See my friend as swimming along (hey, hey)
A Reel Big Fish in a tiny pond (hey, hey)
He waves hello as he's singing his song
My friend
I love my friend
(We love him!)

See my friend as swimming along
A Reel Big Fish in a tiny pond
He waves hello as he's singing his song
My friend
I love my
See my friend as swimming along (hey, hey)
A Reel Big Fish in a tiny pond (hey, hey)
He waves hello as he's singing his song
My friend




I love my
Friend
