Drums, The - Best Friend Lyrics






You are my best friend, but then you died
When I was 23 and you were 25
You are my best friend, but then you died
And how will I survive, survive, survive, survive?
Oh, how will I survive, survive, survive, survive?

And every day I waited for you
And every day on the top of your car
Every day I waited for you
And every day on the hood of your car
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah

Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I had a dream of you, you were drifting away
You were sad and the ocean dripped away
And I know you're gonna be okay
'Cause I can see it in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
And I know I'm gonna survive, survive, survive, survive

And every day I waited for you
And every day on the top of your car
Every day I waited for you
And every day on the hood of your car
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah

Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

And every day I waited for you
And every day on the top of your car
Every day I waited for you
And every day on the hood of your car
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah
Ah ah-ah, ah hah-ah-ah-ah

  9. r.... k....

  11. D.... ....

    00:15
    When i hear my fav song play in my best friends house

  12. T.... N....

    This and a few other of their tunes have made me happier than anything this year. Late adopter, but so glad to have made it here!

  13. S.... J....

  14. W.... E....

    cuando mi hijo tenia como 2 le encantaba esta cancion siempre se la ponia hoy tiene 8 y la puse y solo mueve la cabeza pero a mi me encanta todavia esta rola saludos!!!

  15. K.... Q....

    2019😍♥️

  16. L.... D....

    Jonny Pierce is a legend!!!

  17. L.... D....

    Jonny literally is the perfect GenX frontman that has literally soaked up like a sponge every single nuance of the the 80's to absolute individualist perfection. He gets it. Because he lived it. There's a different sound when the millennial hipsters try this dynamic,and usually fail miserably.

  18. r.... ....

    Classic tune.

  19. l.... D....

    Memories I miss this

  20. W.... G....

    Yams fammin gam.

  21. H.... W....

    who is the drummer :(

  22. D.... M....

    Man all these dancing comments but this song is so beautiful and bittersweet. "You were my best friend / And then you died / When I was 23 and you were 25 / And how will I survive? / And every day / I waited for you / On the hood of your car." Sometimes you just need something bouncy to cope.

  23. h.... a....

  31. C.... ....

  32. C.... C....

    Thank you Drums for putting my thougths in your music, it helps me understeand his farewell

  46. E.... ....

    Reminds me of good and bad times

  47. M.... R....

    Por alguna razón esta canción hace que me mueva impulsivamente

  48. D.... ....

    He really danced like Ian in the beginning.

  56. J.... S....

    I love the Drums ... BUT, BUT ..... everyone listen to Psychedelic furs - heaven, and tell me it's more than just an influence it had on their sound. Open to debate, so no need for abuse, but to me that song sounds so so much like a lot of the Drums stuff.

  57. I.... D....

    I love his dancing!!

  58. T.... G....

    My most favorite song by The Drums. :-)

  59. D.... T....

  61. a.... V....

    His dancing is massive, for fuck's sake!

  62. A.... F....

    Can't believe this song is about to be a decade old, and it still sounds refreshing.
    Amazing

  63. C.... A....

    Este. The drums 2011 es melhor que un día
    Voveras como todas as bandas?

  64. w.... 9....

    This song is funny but at the same time is sad!

  65. L.... c....

    I❤ you

  66. D.... B....

    Is this about him being a dog or cat who’s owner died?

  67. J.... S....

    As a fellow Jonathan, I can only be a massive fan....what a band
