Lyrics

My Friends Forever

Northbound train on a Saturday night
Got me thinking 'bout you
And the way you had my back
When I started to scrap with a stranger
At the bar we used to go to, but it's haunted now
With the memory of someone I wanna forget

On the night I threw my arms around you
I tried to show you how much I care
On the night I threw my arms around you
You didn't leave before the start of the show
I know you'll ride until I die
My friends forever

Running west to meet a girl I like (girl I like)
Got me listenin' to ya
And I'm feeling gone with the wind
Wish I could tell you that over a drink
At the bar we used to go to, but now it's cabaret and I ain't been
Maybe I should go some day?

So, I plead: "Drop your phones
Hold your mates" (before it's too late)

On the night I threw my arms around you
We laughed like we were eternal kids
On the night I threw my arms around you
It was the last time that we both said goodbye
And so I cry into the sky
My friends forever
My friends forever
My friends forever

With a new album on the way and a slot at a festival that’s, by this point, essentially home from home, THE XCERTS couldn’t be more welcome at 2000trees. So long as they stop leaking the line-up.
