For Me
The Wilds Lyrics

Thanks for helping me out
Expressing gratitude to friends for their support

All my friends that have been around
Thanking long-time friends

For awhile
An acknowledgement that their friendship has been going on for a long time

And that's why I
Explaining the reason for a certain behavior

Pull from bottle
Drinking from a bottle of alcohol

When it comes around
When the opportunity arises

No future rut
No downturn in the future

Could ever change
Nothing can undo or diminish what they've all accomplished together

What we've done
Referring to the shared experiences and memories of being together and having good times

Basement nights
Referring to a specific type of gathering that they used to have

With warm beer
Drinking beer that wasn't particularly cold

Pool table lights
The lighting in the basement where the pool table was located

Clouded up by
Filled with

Smoke from
The smoke from cigarettes being smoked by the group

Some new heads
New people that joined the group for the first time

From across the town and state lines
People from different neighborhoods and even different states who still managed to become friends and hang out with the group

They love the sound
They're enjoying themselves and enjoying the laughter of the group

Of people laughing
The sound of the group sharing jokes and having a good time is uplifting to others

I can't blame them
Acknowledging that other people would enjoy being in their group

I take my share and
Participating in the shared experience and the drinking of alcohol

Pass it on
Sharing the alcohol with others in the group

And tonight
That particular night

We'll feel right so
They'll feel comfortable and happy being with their group of friends

Go spread some love
Encouraging everyone to go out and do good things

We're sitting outside
Relaxing outside the house

We're sharing fire
They have a shared source of warmth and light

In our hands
The source of warmth and light is in their hands

The sun's hot
It's a hot sunny day

With all my friends
They're all together, having a great time

By my side
They're all supporting each other and having each other's backs

Yeah I couldn't wish things
Emphasizing how content they all are

Were better
There's nothing they could change to improve the situation

Than right now
The present moment is exactly where they want to be

If the time came
In the hypothetical scenario that something would change

We're good to go
They're all prepared to tackle whatever comes their way

We'd fly out
In this scenario, they would leave together, as a group

Like eagles
Flying free, in the direction of their own choosing

We were born to soar
They all have an innate desire to live a life that's full and free

And tonight
This particular evening

We feel right at home so
They're content and happy where they are

Everyone who held my hand
Grateful for the support they received in difficult times

As a child
Acknowledging that these times were when they were younger and needed more help

Think about those times
Reflecting on those moments

And I smile
Feeling happy thinking about their past experiences

I know they're singing
Imagine their friends all singing this song together

Close your eyes
An invitation to visualize an ideal scenario

I know you'll feel me
Assurance that they're communicating their message strongly and clearly

Got me all the time
Feeling grateful for the support they receive from their friends

Thanks for helping me out
Continuing to express appreciation

For a while
For an extended amount of time

A while now
Reinforcing that this has been going on for quite some time

And that's why I
Reiterating the reason for their behavior

Pull from the bottle when it comes 'round
Drinking again, when offered the opportunity to do so

No future rut
No future downturn, discouragement, or setback

Will ever change
Nothing can undo or diminish the strong bond between these friends and the good times they've shared

What we've done
Reflecting on the shared experiences of the group and the lasting memories they've made together
