Vibe Lyrics

BloodPop
I was wonderin' 'bout your mama
Did she get that job she wanted?
Sell that car that gave her problems?
I'm just curious 'bout her, honest
Know you're wonderin' why I've been callin'
Like I've got ulterior motives
Know we didn't end this so good
But you know we had something so good
So I'm wondering, can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Doesn't have to end
And if it ends, can we be friends?
Can we be friends?
Can we be friends?
Wonderin' if you got a body
To hold you tight since I left
Wonderin' if you think about me
Actually, don't answer that
Know you're wonderin' why I've been callin'
Like I've got ulterior motives
Know we didn't end this so good
But you know we had something so good
So I'm wondering, can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Doesn't have to end
And if it ends, can we be friends?
Can we be friends?
And if it ends, can we be friends?
Know you're wonderin' why I've been callin'
Like I've got ulterior motives
Know we didn't end this so good
But you know we had something so good
I'm wondering, can we still be friends? (oh-oh)
Can we still be friends? (oh-oh)




Doesn't have to end
And if it ends, can we be friends?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vibe's song "Friend" express the singer's curiosity and longing for a past lover or friend. In the first verse, the singer asks about the person's mother, showing genuine interest and concern. They inquire about whether the mother got the job she desired and whether she managed to sell a troublesome car. This indicates that the singer still cares about the person's family and their well-being, despite the relationship ending on a sour note.


The chorus of the song reflects the singer's desire to maintain a connection and friendship with their past lover. Even though the relationship didn't end well, the singer acknowledges that they had something special. They wonder if it is possible to salvage the bond they once had and if they can still be friends. The repeated question, "Can we still be friends?" suggests that the singer hopes for some form of reconciliation, even if it means only maintaining a platonic relationship.


The second verse delves into the singer's insecurities and vulnerability. They admit to wondering if the person has found someone new to comfort them physically, replacing the singer's presence. However, they quickly retract their statement by saying, "Actually, don't answer that." This suggests that the singer might not be ready to hear about the person moving on, hinting at a lingering attachment or feelings of jealousy.


The final chorus reinforces the singer's hope for friendship despite the complications. They acknowledge that the relationship didn't end well, but they still believe it had its bright moments. Once again, the singer wonders if they can still be friends and expresses the hope that if the relationship does come to an end, they can maintain a friendly connection.


Overall, the lyrics of "Friend" showcase the singer's longing for a past lover or friend, their genuine interest in the person's life, and their hope for a friendship to endure, even if the romantic relationship is over.
