Foster The People - Best Friend Lyrics

I've been a spoken word
I've been a river bed
I've been a rabid force
And let it flow up from within
The choices that you make affect you for the rest of your life

Yeeaaaah
You can't control the wa--
You give, it takes alot
You got to sleep in your bed
And hope the words will come again
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white

Because oooh

When your best friend's all strung out
You'll do everything you can
Cuz 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
(When u feel up in the clouds)
You ought to know
That I'm here no matter where you want to go
(In your head hanging upside-down)
Well it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start

I've been a river bed
I've tried to salt the wound
I've carried more than I can
I feel I got a lot to prove
The choices that you make affect you for the rest of you life

Yeeaaaah
You can't control the wa--
But you guess what you got
You to sleep in your bed
And hope the words will come again
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white

Because oooh

When your best friend's all strung out
You'll do everything you can
Cuz 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
(When u feel up in the clouds)
You ought to know
That I'm here no matter where you want to go
(In your head hanging upside-down)
Well it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start
