Lyrics Best Friend - Foster the People

(When your best friend's all strung out)
You do everything you can
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
(When you find it all around)
Well, it comes in waves
But it's hardest from the start

Feeling's sleeping in the field again
But I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
It's beginning to end
Yeah, premonition's smiling in the dark
I can see, I can see, I can see
The story's starting to arc

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

It dries up
I've been a spoken word
I've been a river bed
I've been a rabid force
And let it flow out from within
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
And color's so, oh

When your best friend's all strung out
You do everything you can
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, you say it's what you need
And hide your eyes when you're close to me
(With your feet up in the clouds)
Well, it comes in waves
But it's hardest from the start

Waves in theta slipping into dreams
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
The celestial beings
Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath
I can see, I can see, I can see
The beauty in the mess

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

It dries up
I've been a river bed
I tried to salt the wound
I've carried more than I can
I feel I've got a lot to prove
Sometimes I feel like I only dream in black and white
But color's so, oh

When your best friend's all strung out
You do everything you can
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, you say it's what you need
And hide your eyes when you're close to me
(With your feet up in the clouds)
You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you wanna go
(And your head hanging upside-down)
Well, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start

I am here
No matter where you are
I'm waiting here with open arms
No matter where you are
Sometimes, you have to wait
And it passes by like a satellite or star
No matter where you are

(When your best friend's all strung out)
You know it, ooh, woo, woo
Ooh, woo, woo, ooh, ooh, woo, ooh
(With your feet up in the clouds)
Oh, yeah, you know it, ooh, woo, woo
Ooh, woo, woo, ooh, ooh, woo, ooh
(When your best friend's all strung out)

Oh, yeah, you know it, you oughta know
That I'm here no matter where you wanna go
(And your head hanging upside-down)
Yeah, you know it, that's how you know
That your best friend's all strung out
