Best Friend

Indie Shuffle writes: Brand new song “Best Friend” is one of those dancey tunes that Foster the People is known for, with catchy hooks, lush instrumentation, and top notch production. Singer Mark Foster’s falsetto vocals tell a personal story with the lines, “When your best friends are strung out, you do everything you can ’cause you never gonna let it get ‘em down.”

[Chorus] (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, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start [Verse 1] Feelings sleeping in the field again But I can feel, I can feel, I can feel it's beginning to end Yeah, premonitions smiling in the dark Well, I can see, I can see, I can see the story's starting to arc [Pre Chorus 1] 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! [Chorus] (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) 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre Chorus 2] 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 it feel like I only dream in black and white And color's so, oh! [Chorus] (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) 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 go (With your head hanging upside down) Well, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start [Bridge] 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 until it passes by Like a satellite or star No matter where you are [Refrain] (When your best friend's all strung out) You know it, ooh, ooh (With your feet up in the clouds) Oh yeah, you know it Ooh, 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 go (With your head hanging upside down) Oh yeah, you know it That's how you know that your best friend's all strung out
