Lyrics

Famous Friend

From Joyce Manor2011

Written by Barry Johnson (Joyce Manor), Chase Knobbe, Kurt Walcher, Matt Ebert

Produced by Alex Estrada

Lyrics

Famous Friend

[Verse 1] Famous friend, why are you telling lies again? All your stories start out boring But I'm laughing 'til I'm crying in the end We'll see how to cut along the seam Separate you from the notion that you're something I could never try to be myself Only for somebody else In your car I couldn't tell how to tell So try to be cool [Verse 2] Hated friend, why are you coming round again? Pissing out your insecurities to people who don't need you now They've found someone who can have a little fun It makes you wonder how you ever felt affection for somebody who could hate you so Oh, I'd really like to know what it takes to say, "I am strong." I am strong

Joyce Manor: "A break did us a lot of good"

Joyce Manor worried a break might make people forget them. Instead, it reset the band and set up a run of bigger tours, bigger co-signs and their tightest songs yet.
