Lyrics: I've got more complaints More than pleasantries to say Everybody monument is idly arranged Every figure that has ever held importance in my life I find nobody is who I pictured them to be My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide I see the faces in reflections of the past I feel so close but I can't reach through the glass My life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette I'm nothing like they pictured me to be My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt If only your skin were thinner I wouldn't feel the need to hide I see the light in your eyes Turn the blind eye (Turn the blind) "Why are you hurting me" she screamed Look at me, I'm trying to say I haven't been slipping away Look at me, I'm trying to say I haven't been slipping away I'm nothing like they pictured me to be My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt If only your skin were thinner I wouldn't feel the need to hide
LYRICS! UP THIS! Verse 1 I’ve got more complaints more than pleasantries to say. Every monument is idle and rearranged. Every figure that has held importance in my life. I find nobody is who I pictured them to be. Chorus 1: My hands are numb Because it's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide Verse 2: I see the faces in reflections of the past I feel so close but I can’t reach through the glass My life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette I’m nothing like they pictured me to be Chorus 2: My hands are numb Because it's getting colder quicker You need more warmth than I provide If only my skin were thicker I wouldn't feel the need to hide I feel it eat my insides I’m paralyzed with guilt If only your skin were thinner I wouldn’t feel the need to hide Bridge: I see the light in your life turn a blind eye “Why are you hurting me?” She screamed from her deathbed Look at me and try to see I haven’t slipping away (x2) I’m nothing like they pictured me to be
le tengo tanto amor a esta banda, no por nada los llevó en mi piel, me han salvado la vida en muchas ocasiones , les debo tanto, gracias por seguir haciendo musica maravillosa 💜
+Bailee Pilon So did I. The show was amazing and there was so much positive energy and they were so close to home it made me happy. Seeing all their parents there and all these people having such a good time made it the best night of my life, not to mention how intimate it was.
The first time I heard this was a couple weeks ago in a packed little record shop. Dan asked us to put our phones away and to just be present when we heard it for the first time. I barely had my phone out the entire show. I just let the music wash over me and it was absolutely one of the best shows I've been to.
Early Real Friends: "Wishes there were more than two days in a weekend" :D Put Yourself Back Together: "I've been up spending every late night in my car Listening to all these sad songs" :/ This Place is the Same: "I've lost you, so I've got nothing to lose" :( New Song: "I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt (...) 'Why are you hurting me' she screamed from her death bed" D: 5 years from now and I bet Real Friends will go full doom metal.
This sounds so much better than their older sound. Just such a tighter sound with this one song than anything else the released, in my opinion. I liked their old sound somewhat, but it always felt like there was something missing. With this song they found that missing element for sure.
Just found these guys! Hearing a legit Starting Line influence in this. I grew up with Starting Line, and to hear the next generation have the Starting Line as an influence is pretty damn awesome to me. Excellent song too, I really like the lyrics. Gonna check out more of them!
honestly bands are the only thing that's keeping me alive thx I guess if I never heard sweet sixteen by real friends I would probably be shy and alone still. so much has happened in the past two years that music is my only to cope thanks-Nicole
"if only my skin were thicker, i wouldn't feel the need to hide." "my life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette." "i feel it eat my insides. im paralyzed with guilt." "look at me. im trying to say i haven't been slipping away." GOOD JOB GUYS. YOU RELEASED ANOTHER EPIC TRACK 💞 I LOVE YOU REAL FRIENDS :)
Holy fucking catchy. This is hella dope. It's definitely different than what I'm used to, but it's still got the Real Friends elements we all love and I'm sure it will grow on me the more I bump it
I think it could mean a lot of things. I took from it in the way I need/ed it, but I think it also means something else. Have you listened to Kyle Fasel's spoken word? You must! It's on his account called kylefaselisdead. Taking from his poetry there as background for the song and my life rn - I would have to say the song explains that they know the person they are in love with that they're hurting them. I know that I'm hurting my loved one, "I'm paralyzed with guilt" but I can't help it. I know you need more warmth than what I can give you but I don't know how to give you that. I'm nothing like you thought I was, I'm someone else to you but I always was that person, you had the "rose colored glasses" about me and youre just finally taking the glasses off. I'm trying to say that I'm not slipping away in my love for you, I'm just dealing with my demons that just need to be in past rather than me bringing up the old wounds. I love you but it's hard with the past creeping up on me, I'm not trying to hurt you, but I guess that's what I'm doing anyway. I hope that clears something up? Or evoke new thoughts about the song? :)
+Geddy Franco Exactly!! Real Friends has been one of my favorite bands for awhile now, but their last album, as great as it is, there were some moments when the vocal flow felt really forced and unnatural. That's not the case here. I love their last album, and after hearing this song, I'm so stoked for this one!
+JohanJ2000 Can I get a list of these bands because last week I went to twitter and realized that most of my fave pop punk bands are going on hiatus and breaking up and now today it's like the rest are releasing albums.
+Johnathan Ace Real Friends, then yesterday Sleeping With Sirens released theire Unplugged Album. Pierce The Veils new album is gonna release soon. Then Issues I assume and yeah. That's for as far I have planned.
I've been critical of their lyrics in the past because it just sounds like words spewed out of a 14 year old girls mouth; like straight from her diary. Now? There's some actual rhyme there. Its now based on the diary, not LITERALLY the diary. I'm stoked to hear what else they have.
+Stephen Rodriguez I was so mad tho, I have lost notifications for there shit and when I saw that they posted something I just ignored it cuz I was busy and they usually just post random shit that they sell and when I checked the post four hours later they had already sold out
AMAZING!
hi
+This Wild Life ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+This Wild Life you guys should cover each other's songs again because that was fantastic
+This Wild Life Nailed the Loose Ends cover! Come back to Boston!
That's what I been saying 😂
the progression is fantastic, im blown away at how much more mature this sounds
i am satisfied to see I'm not the only one who thought of this.
+CMPuLs3 That was the first thing that came to mind as well. Very intrigued to hear the rest of this record.
Always find myself back here, still one of my favorite albums
Lyrics:
I've got more complaints
More than pleasantries to say
Everybody monument is idly arranged
Every figure that has ever held importance in my life
I find nobody is who I pictured them to be
My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
I see the faces in reflections of the past
I feel so close but I can't reach through the glass
My life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette
I'm nothing like they pictured me to be
My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt
If only your skin were thinner
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
I see the light in your eyes
Turn the blind eye (Turn the blind)
"Why are you hurting me" she screamed
Look at me, I'm trying to say
I haven't been slipping away
Look at me, I'm trying to say
I haven't been slipping away
I'm nothing like they pictured me to be
My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt
If only your skin were thinner
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
thanks bro
jolo garcia You're welcome
u da real mvp
I listened to this song on repeat 8 years ago today, while I was in labour with my son ❤
this is so good i am in tears
Hello :)
+meghan marie LITERALLY.
THE ILLINOIS SAD BOYS ARE BACK AND IM SO FUCKING STOKED FOR THIS NEW RECORD!
the comment got me so fucking hype
+Maddi Peters dude sameeee
this really, really good. it's awesome that real friends are going into a more artistic direction.
So good,
This band literally cannot release a bad song/record.
Pure gold.
I like how this is the last track on the album
...just when you think this band can't get any better, I'm excited to hear more new stuff now 💕
LYRICS! UP THIS!
Verse 1
I’ve got more complaints more than pleasantries to say.
Every monument is idle and rearranged.
Every figure that has held importance in my life.
I find nobody is who I pictured them to be.
Chorus 1:
My hands are numb
Because it's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
Verse 2:
I see the faces in reflections of the past
I feel so close but I can’t reach through the glass
My life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette
I’m nothing like they pictured me to be
Chorus 2:
My hands are numb
Because it's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
I feel it eat my insides
I’m paralyzed with guilt
If only your skin were thinner
I wouldn’t feel the need to hide
Bridge:
I see the light in your life turn a blind eye
“Why are you hurting me?” She screamed
from her deathbed
Look at me and try to see
I haven’t slipping away (x2)
I’m nothing like they pictured me to be
Waking up to this on a sunny Friday morning... Lifes good!!
I pre-ordered the album bundle and I'm so excited
This band has saved me more than once...
Hey a real friends song that doesn't suck!
So happy, that I was able to see them last year . Now new music, ahhhmazing!
My love for this band is unmeasurable.
le tengo tanto amor a esta banda, no por nada los llevó en mi piel, me han salvado la vida en muchas ocasiones , les debo tanto, gracias por seguir haciendo musica maravillosa 💜
Listening to this has made me more excited to see them tomorrow .
Very different for Real Friends! Loving the sound
So many new albums coming out in May omg
Holy shit, I'm so fucking excited.
I get a Starting Line vibe from this... I'm so excited!
totally agree.
I think this is the most interesting song they've done. I love it :)
Holy shit. Real friends is amazing! Cant wait to see yall. Bonner springs aint ready!!!!
screamed every word with dan in worth last night. 5 dollar tour kicked ass.
Jealous
Jay Moroney best experience of my life
+Bailee Pilon So did I. The show was amazing and there was so much positive energy and they were so close to home it made me happy. Seeing all their parents there and all these people having such a good time made it the best night of my life, not to mention how intimate it was.
Alex W. i completely agree. I've been to a lot of concerts but that was without a doubt the best one i have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
Bailee Pilon wanted to go to the one in my city but it sold out in like 5 minutes lol
The first time I heard this was a couple weeks ago in a packed little record shop. Dan asked us to put our phones away and to just be present when we heard it for the first time. I barely had my phone out the entire show. I just let the music wash over me and it was absolutely one of the best shows I've been to.
Thank you dan.... ❤️
I love it, can't wait for when the album comes out! :D
Early Real Friends: "Wishes there were more than two days in a weekend" :D
Put Yourself Back Together: "I've been up spending every late night in my car
Listening to all these sad songs" :/
This Place is the Same: "I've lost you, so I've got nothing to lose" :(
New Song: "I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt (...) 'Why are you hurting me' she screamed from her death bed" D:
5 years from now and I bet Real Friends will go full doom metal.
Arena punk.
Well, Happy Days is a Depressive Suicidal Black Metal band, Real Friends would make a great name for a band like that xD
does it really work??
+Pedro Paulo It's fake don't touch it
Oh my god hahah
God, I love Real Friends. I need more new stuff!
This is so beautiful 😭
IM SO HAPPY FOR THIS NEW ALBUM !!!
Holy crap.....This is how a band evolves!!!
This sounds so much better than their older sound. Just such a tighter sound with this one song than anything else the released, in my opinion. I liked their old sound somewhat, but it always felt like there was something missing. With this song they found that missing element for sure.
Dan sounds spectacular.. can't wait for the full length.
One of my favorites
Amazing! Can't wait for the album.
love, love, love it. Real Friends never disappoints.
they progressed in the right way, this is amazing
This kind of music is beautiful
thank god there are no "sleepy eyes and bony knees" in this song. really looking forward to this album.
god bless real friends
Love how each release is different! This is great!

i love this so so much and i can't wait for the album x
Real friends never disappoints me with new music💖💖
I'm Harvey Dent and I approve this message. I believe in Real Friends.
The snare in this tho 👏🏻👌🏼
Just found these guys! Hearing a legit Starting Line influence in this. I grew up with Starting Line, and to hear the next generation have the Starting Line as an influence is pretty damn awesome to me. Excellent song too, I really like the lyrics. Gonna check out more of them!
Wow, what a great day.
honestly bands are the only thing that's keeping me alive thx I guess if I never heard sweet sixteen by real friends I would probably be shy and alone still. so much has happened in the past two years that music is my only to cope thanks-Nicole
This is spectacular, honestly dig it more than anything on Maybe This Place Is The Same.
Just preordered this album right after listening to this song. I am beyond hyped for this.
love this song so much !! :D
THE PROGRESSION IS SO SPECTACULAR
"if only my skin were thicker, i wouldn't feel the need to hide."
"my life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette."
"i feel it eat my insides. im paralyzed with guilt."
"look at me. im trying to say i haven't been slipping away."
GOOD JOB GUYS. YOU RELEASED ANOTHER EPIC TRACK 💞 I LOVE YOU REAL FRIENDS :)
Can't wait to see them at Warped... Knuckle Puck too
+UndeadCock Ay
I listen every genres but pop punk always be my favourite
Ugh Real Friends back at it again. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Holy fucking catchy. This is hella dope. It's definitely different than what I'm used to, but it's still got the Real Friends elements we all love and I'm sure it will grow on me the more I bump it
So hyped for the new album omg
This album is about to be AMAZING
literally cant stop playing this
This is so good! I can't wait to see my bois tomorrow.
I absolutely needed this song for what is currently going on! Thank you so much.
what is it about? I am having a hard time figuring it out
I think it could mean a lot of things. I took from it in the way I need/ed it, but I think it also means something else. Have you listened to Kyle Fasel's spoken word? You must! It's on his account called kylefaselisdead. Taking from his poetry there as background for the song and my life rn - I would have to say the song explains that they know the person they are in love with that they're hurting them. I know that I'm hurting my loved one, "I'm paralyzed with guilt" but I can't help it. I know you need more warmth than what I can give you but I don't know how to give you that. I'm nothing like you thought I was, I'm someone else to you but I always was that person, you had the "rose colored glasses" about me and youre just finally taking the glasses off. I'm trying to say that I'm not slipping away in my love for you, I'm just dealing with my demons that just need to be in past rather than me bringing up the old wounds. I love you but it's hard with the past creeping up on me, I'm not trying to hurt you, but I guess that's what I'm doing anyway.
I hope that clears something up? Or evoke new thoughts about the song? :)
WOW THESE GUYS SOUND BETTER THAN EVER THE VOCALS FLOW SO WELL I LOVE IT
+Geddy Franco Exactly!! Real Friends has been one of my favorite bands for awhile now, but their last album, as great as it is, there were some moments when the vocal flow felt really forced and unnatural.
That's not the case here. I love their last album, and after hearing this song, I'm so stoked for this one!
ZackVulnerable I completely agree!
This is dope af! Officially stoked on the new album
This is beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!! Am I going to catch anyone at the San Diego Warped tour watching RF with me??!

I'm so emotional right now
favorite band 💜
Best they've ever sounded.
this song is on repeat until the album comes out
Finally new music 🔥🔥🔥
People complaining about their change.... What? it sounds like a NEW song you can't keep making the same 4 songs.
Doesn't sounds so much different, I reckon it could be another song of Put Yourself Back Together
exactly
No one is complaining
Daniel Esbenshade
there were a bunch of comments complaining
+Alejandra Muñoz Alegria Sounds nothing like Put Yourself Back Together, but it is definitely good.
Holy Crap. at 0:40, it's like Real Friends and The Starting Line had a baby.
love it. it reminds me of reliant k
New album out on my birthday wooooooh :)
I see the light in your eyes
Turn the blind eye (Turn the blind)
"Why are you hurting me" she screamed
From her deathBeaDDDDD
Never disappoints, good job lads.

Amazing!! So stoked on this I can't wait to hear the whole album (':

+JohanJ2000 Can I get a list of these bands because last week I went to twitter and realized that most of my fave pop punk bands are going on hiatus and breaking up and now today it's like the rest are releasing albums.
+Johnathan Ace Real Friends, then yesterday Sleeping With Sirens released theire Unplugged Album. Pierce The Veils new album is gonna release soon. Then Issues I assume and yeah. That's for as far I have planned.

I've been critical of their lyrics in the past because it just sounds like words spewed out of a 14 year old girls mouth; like straight from her diary.

I'm stoked to hear what else they have.

+Azarel Doroteo *post
