about

“I’ve Got A Friend” is an alt-pop song reminiscent of the jangly guitars and morose lyrics of The Smiths, with the pounding drums of Wolf Alice. The song was created as a therapy session between the band and our inner critic, starting with the 5 senses grounding exercise and detailing our struggles with feeling not quite enough.

lyrics

Five you can see
Four you can touch
Three you can hear
Two you can smell
One you can taste
Take a deep breath

I hear a voice inside me
All along, I tried to push away
Hollow chest, I feel empty
Up late, can't escape, fear keeps me wide awake
My feet keep shaking beneath me
The more I see, the more of me I grieve
I'm all alone, I can't even pretend
I've got a friend

I've got a friend, he is always besides me
How does this problem make you feel?
He's with me all the time, I see him in my dreams
Do these dreams feel real to you?
He always lets me know what people really mean
How would you describe your mood?
I've got a friend, he is always telling me
What brings you down or makes you blue?
That I'm never enough

Maybe I'm the problem
I'm tired of always holding you down
Hurts me that we can't solve them
Just think of me when I'm not around
Maybe I'm the problem
I'm tired of always holding you down
Hurts me that we can't solve them
Just think of me when I'm not around
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe, maybe, maybe

I've got a friend, he is always besides me
How does this problem make you feel?
He's with me all the time, I see him in my dreams
Do these dreams feel real to you?
He always lets me know what people really mean
How would you describe your mood?
I've got a friend, he is always telling me
What brings you down or makes you blue?
That I'm never enough

I've got a friend who controls me
Do you think that you're the problem?
He clenches my throat when I speak
What do you do, who do you turn to?
I'm tired of feeling so lonely
Why do you feel like you're at the bottom?
Sometimes I'd rather just sleep
Are you afraid or bound to past mistakes?

I've got a friend, he is always besides me
How does this problem make you feel?
He's with me all the time, I see him in my dreams
Do these dreams feel real to you?
He always lets me know what people really mean
How would you describe your mood?
I've got a friend, he is always telling me
What brings you down or makes you blue?
That I'm never enough
