My Terrible Friend Lyrics
What did you take?
'Cause that's what I'll take
And I can't take it without you
When I feel dead
I lay at my bed
I don't wanna lay here without you
Now you can't stand
Well I understand
You can take my heavy hand
'Cause I can't resist
Touching your lips
I feel bliss at my fingertips
Oh shit
And I'm scared that this could end
Face down in the park again
Wondering where I left my mind last night
But that's alright
You're my terrible friend
Everyone is pretty and fun
Everyone is lovely and young
Everyone is gentle and gone
But everyone's just everyone
And you're the one who's breaking me
And you're the one who just won't leave
Still I don't want it to end
You are my
You're my terrible friend (3x)
'Cause that's what I'll take
And I can't take it without you
I lay at my bed
I don't wanna lay here without you
Well I understand
You can take my heavy hand
Touching your lips
I feel bliss at my fingertips
Oh shit
Face down in the park again
Wondering where I left my mind last night
But that's alright
Everyone is lovely and young
Everyone is gentle and gone
But everyone's just everyone
And you're the one who just won't leave
Still I don't want it to end
You are my

well, for me it's the best song on "belong". reminds me of "higher than the stars" and some poppier stuff from the cure. my english is not this good and i think i may not have caught all the "between the lines" of the lyrics, but i can only guess that this song is about having a best friend from the opposite sex. and, not enough, feeling like falling in love with her/him. maybe it's me, because i have gone through a thing like this recently (and i believe most of us, if not yet, will go through this too). in the case of the song, it's clear that, at the same time he has some physical intimacy with her, their relationship is more about complicity. when he sings "everyone's just everyone", and after this "you're the one who's breaking me", it seems that he feels himself inside this dilemma; kind of "you're perfect to me, you make me crazy. but we're just friends. you're so terrible". it's pretty. (but i don't want to be in it again)
and it's funny how this theme is reocurrent in their sound. a lot of songs are about "friends who are so friends they fall in love". twins, this love is fucking right, higher than the stars, belong, everything with you - i interpret them as about this stuff. that's why the pains always sound so familiar to me and to many people.
I may be reading into it what I wish but I always thought of the friend as male-with the song being about same-sex desire.
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS FOR LIFE
hahaha. actually, it makes more sense indeed...
