Friendship Is A Touchy Subject
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In "Friendship Is A Touchy Subject" by We the Kings, the lyrics explore the complexities of a friendship that has gone through many ups and downs. The opening lines "You wear this crown does it make you feel, like everyone is listening hanging on your every word" suggest that one of the friends has become somewhat of a leader or influential figure, with people gravitating towards them and hanging on their every word. The next line "I'm staring at your insides and I see what's running through you, why won't you ever let this go" implies that the other friend can see through them, understands them and knows their thoughts, but is frustrated that they can't seem to move on from past issues.
The verse continues with "You used to be my worst enemy clever and you're thinking of ways to get out of this one", showing that the friendship wasn't always as strong as it is now. However, the chorus "What we had wasn't always easy, what we had wasn't all that bad" suggests that despite the difficulties, the friendship has been worth it. The line "Always, I am drawn closer to the end" alludes to the fact that the friendship might be coming to an end, but the other person will always remember them and appreciate their support throughout the difficult times.
The last line "Hands down you're the best thing yet that's happened and still everyone listens to you" implies that the other person is still very influential and highly respected, but the singer still sees them as a valuable friend.

@Blossomz96
I finally found this song looking everywhere for! Is there anyway I can get the albums or the link. I loved we the kings like this but I like how they sound now too.
@XJoeyTINAPx
wish they still sounded like this
@alex75000
Oh my god, Old songs for the win, I need this :O!!!
@randofrak
okay, so for everyone complaining saying "its not we the kings blah blah blah" or saying that it isn't them, you are right, and wrong, at the same time, the band playing this is technically Broken Image, a band that Travis, his brother, and the Thompson brothers, and then they god Danny and changed their names to Desoto, both names were taken so they changed it to we the kings (after their middle school) instead of getting sued
@DNDelli
I used to try to explain to people about Broken Image and Desoto, even posted about it on their Wiki a few times.... seems like their label really didn't want people to know about their past because it kept getting edited super quick. LOL.
@LV6LV
Interestingly enough i have the demos to all these albums. My brother was roommates with travis a few years back. I'm going to upload them all soon.
@early00syassine85

@PIEMANRUES
I know it’s a bit of a long shot considering you made this comment like 12 years ago. But do you happen to still have those early We The Kings songs? And if so, is there any chance to get a download link?
@LV6LV
@@PIEMANRUES I do. Let me see what I can do to put them in a link or something.
