Phantogram – My Only Friend Lyrics 11 years ago
This song reminds me of nightlife because it's really "raw", like somebody said it here. Sarah and Josh said in a interview that it is their favourite song in the album.

The meaning can be the obvious one: a best friends song. Or maybe lovers, but it think best friends fit the most with the lyrics. In this case, I imagine they're talking about each other, cause they're best friends and with all the touring, sometimes all they have is each other.

But as you know, phantogram's music always have an "hidden" meaning, like most songs in Eyelid Movies album. And some of them talk about drugs (such as mouthfull of diamonds and when I'm small). The name Phantogram itself makes refference to psychedellic visions.

So maybe this song is about drugs as well. Like drugs are her only friend. It seems possible if you read the lyrics carefully...

But it's only my opinion. Just like all types of art expression, a song like this one can mean many things at once.
