My Friend Peter Lyrics

I dont care who you've been sleeping with these days
youre outta my hair its growing just above my smiling face that I wear
every night I drink myself to sleep
not thinking about you
not thinking about anything at all

I dont care who you've been dining with these days
its more than fair much rather be drinking anyways
with my friend Peter
who lives so fucking far away
yet not as far as you
even though you live right down my fucking street

and I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help
im tired of lying about not thinking of you
maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do

I dont care who you've been kissing on these days
it's out of my hands and in my mouth with such a pleasent taste I need a beer
to wash it all away without a trace
and then i'll drink 23 more
to wipe this stupid smile off my fucking face

I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all those drinks and drugs no longer help
im tired of lying about not thinking of you
maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do

whoever thinks 24 beers kills a regular drinker is an idiot. he's not trying to kill himself either. the man is just trying to get loaded and forget about her.

go to college and learn this stuff first hand. thanks.

Im pretty sure Peter is Saint Peter, you know, the heaven guy :) 24 beers in a row would kill ya, and i think that's the point. nothing else is helpin. Peace grease, The Full Effect

yo yo. saw them live in chicago. before they played this song, they pointed to a guy in the audience who waved, etc and was introuced as "my friend peter", by skiba. the whole song has amazingly clever [if nothing else] lyrics.

Everyone's got their "friend peter"... the guy/girl who will drink with you after you get left by "The one", who will point out every shortcoming of that ex, and make sure you're not too drunk to make it up your stairs by the end of the night.

Great song when you need that friend who will do anything for you... and you know that you'd do the same for them, no matter how far they live from you. This song has been on repeat the past few days, since my now ex has decided I was unworthy of a phone call from him for two weeks

Cover art for My Friend Peter lyrics by Alkaline Trio

this song is dedicated to my ex girlfriend.

ok maybe im gettin this wrong but i dont think "peter" is a real friend he is talking about, "my friend Peter who lives so fucking far away yet not as far as you even though you live right down my fucking street" i think that would make peter himself i believe, and that kind of alter ego you get when you just got fucked over, where you dont want do go anwhere or do anything, but when you talk to people you want to put on the act you are fine, and doing fine hangin out with "peter" quite often. when in actuality its all about "I'm tired of sleeping with myself I'm tired, all those drinks and drugs no longer help im tired of lying about not thinking of you" but in the end "my friend Peter can tell me what to do"
