I've Got This Friend Lyrics
I've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hidden his heart away
Oh I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, If the right one came, along
I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Oh I've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
It'd be such a shame
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only
Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hidden his heart away
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back
If the right one came along
Ohh, If the right one came, along
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along

This song is about two narrator's expressing their feelings for each other, under the facade that they are discussing the romantic potential of their two "friends."
I love how the two are presented as incredibly guarded, "Holding onto her heart like it's a little secret"
The Civil Wars are music.
Beautiful lyrics.
Gosh, why are we so coy? It's sweet & charming. But MAN it can be frustrating.
I would have to say that this is it exactly.
It would certainly be a shame if they never meet.
What a flirtacious song :) They are head over heels for eachother, this gent and gal!
Such a beautiful song!
I think it's a gorgeous description of two friends. I know I've "had a friend" like that before. So sweet.
I really love this song. I thought the lyric was, "He's hidden his heart away," not "hid in his hardened way," but I like both. :)
Love this song and I know that they're talking about themselves even though they're doing it under the veil of saying it's a "friend" but God I have no idea why but I always imagine they're singing it about their genitals?!?!
