Friends Lyrics
[Verse 1: Bon Iver]
Could be lookin' at you
From a freeway trailer
If you'd handled what I'd taken
Separate loans, separate codes
No fine line, don't have to be dead right
'Cause dead right can go wrong
[Chorus: Francis and the Lights]
We could be friends
We could be friends
Put your head on my shoulders
[Verse 2: Francis and the Lights & Kanye West]
I'm Francis
Still dreamin' of a glory
Of somethin' new
I can't remember what it's like
To never wanna let go
It's all good though
[Chorus: Francis and the Lights & Kanye West]
We could be friends
We could be friends
Just put your head on my shoulders
I will straighten out, for you
Don't wanna know if you made mistakes
I'm still waiting on your sunshine
Could be lookin' at you
From a freeway trailer
If you'd handled what I'd taken
Separate loans, separate codes
No fine line, don't have to be dead right
'Cause dead right can go wrong
[Chorus: Francis and the Lights]
We could be friends
We could be friends
Put your head on my shoulders
[Verse 2: Francis and the Lights & Kanye West]
I'm Francis
Still dreamin' of a glory
Of somethin' new
I can't remember what it's like
To never wanna let go
It's all good though
[Chorus: Francis and the Lights & Kanye West]
We could be friends
We could be friends
Just put your head on my shoulders
I will straighten out, for you
Don't wanna know if you made mistakes
I'm still waiting on your sunshine
[Verse 3: Francis and the Lights]
Ooh, LA
I guess you gotta chase that ghost
Heard you bought some land in Mexico
And I said, "Way to go, man"
'Cause wherever you may roam
Remember who you know
There's a station playin' rock and roll
So stay tuned in mi amor
Stay tuned in
[Chorus: Bon Iver & Francis and the Lights]
I will turn around for you
I will straighten up for your girl
Just put your hand on my shoulder
We could be friends, for you
We could be friends, for you
I will make this promise to you
After all these promises
I'm looking at you now
Still looking for you, still waiting for you
I told you, I'm sorry... I was waiting on a different story
Still waiting on your sunshine
What I tell you
Still waiting on your sunshine
Ooh, LA
I guess you gotta chase that ghost
Heard you bought some land in Mexico
And I said, "Way to go, man"
'Cause wherever you may roam
Remember who you know
There's a station playin' rock and roll
So stay tuned in mi amor
Stay tuned in
[Chorus: Bon Iver & Francis and the Lights]
I will turn around for you
I will straighten up for your girl
Just put your hand on my shoulder
We could be friends, for you
We could be friends, for you
I will make this promise to you
After all these promises
I'm looking at you now
Still looking for you, still waiting for you
I told you, I'm sorry... I was waiting on a different story
Still waiting on your sunshine
What I tell you
Still waiting on your sunshine
About
Genius Annotation
On “Friends,” Francis and the Lights combines with rapper Kanye West as well as Bon Iver (the two of which have worked together on multiple occasions including the songs “Lost in the World” and “Hold My Liquor.”) Interestingly, following Francis' feature on the Chance the Rapper’s “Summer Friends” he gained comparisons to Bon Iver and the two combine brilliantly here. Kanye also said it was his favorite song of the year.
The video to the song was released 7th July and was promoted by Chance before the video release. It was directed by Paper Towns' director Jake Schreier.
