Real Friends Lyrics

No, I think I'll stay in tonight
Skip the conversations and the "Oh, I'm fines"
No, I'm no stranger to surprise
This paper town has let me down too many times
Why do I even try? Give me a reason why
I thought that I could trust you, never mind
Why all the switching sides? Where do I draw the line?
I guess I'm too naive to read the signs

I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
All they ever do is let me down
Every time I let somebody in
Then I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
Wonder where they're all hidin' out (hidin' out)
I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
Gotta get up out of this town

Oh, oh
Yeah

Trust slow for a reason (reason)
See through the fake pretty easy (yeah)
Stayin' down 'til the world ends
Guilt trips on the weekend (hey)
I pack more than suits in my suitcases
All this cash, that's friendly faces
Been movin' fast, I'm racin' (wait)
Get up, you're going places (c'mon)
Every day, tryna maintain
Same old me, ain't a damn thing change
Real friends screaming, "Gang, gang, gang"

I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
All they ever do is let me down (oh-no-no)
Every time I let somebody in (woah)
Then I find out what they're all about (all about)
I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
Wonder where they're all hidin' out (hidin' out)
I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
Gotta get up out of this town

Real friends
Lookin' for some real friends
Yeah

I just wanna talk about nothin'
With somebody that means something (conversation)
Spell the names of all our dreams and demons
For the times that I don't understand
Tell me what's the point of a moon like this
When I'm alone again (yeah yeah yeah)
Can I run away to somewhere beautiful
Where nobody knows my name?

I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
And I let somebody in
But I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
All they ever do is let me down
I'm just lookin' for some real friends (real friends)
Gotta get up out of this town, yeah

Spend a fortune with my real friends
Good guess, what we breathe in (oh, ohhh)
Pop corns with some real friends
Killin' the scene, yeah (ohhh, ah)
Hangin' with my real friends
That I surround myself with (ohhh, ah)
You have to have my back (ah)
Lookin' like my real friends

What is the Meaning of Real Friends?

In a world where you can't swing a cat without hitting someone who's "got your back," Camila and Swae are calling out the fakes. This track is a heart-rending ode to the struggle of finding genuine companionship in an era of superficial social media friendships. It's about the disillusionment that comes with realizing that those around you aren't as loyal as they claim to be. The duo isn't asking for much, just some good old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness pals - ones who understand the value of deep conversation and moonlit solitude. So, if you've ever felt alone in a crowd, this anthem is for you – because nothing beats having 'real friends'.
