Real Friends - Dirty Water Lyrics






If you wore your personality on your skin, no one would take a second look
You were shallow when we met and you still are
The water won't be coming down anytime soon to change that
Loneliness keeps me warm at night and that's okay with me
I'd rather be alone in this bed made for two than listen to you and your judgement

Don't act like you're better than me
We're both fools lost in this cold world
You might not fall as much as I do, but if I look close enough I can find the scars on your knees
I can find the bags under your eyes that carry too much for you to handle

I'm starting to think that you're the reason why everyone left
So stop pointing your finger
You don't even really know me, not at all
You don't even really know me

Don't act like you're better than me
We're both fools lost in this cold world
You might not fall as much as I do, but if I look close enough I can find the scars on your knees
I can find the bags under your eyes that carry too much for you to handle

I said I'm selfish, I'm a liar and I'm broken
Shit runs through my head every day that I would never tell anyone
You're just like me
The only difference is that I'm honest enough to scream my flaws in the lines of this song

  4. D.... ....

    for anyone complaining about the constant pattern of "bony knees" and "sleepy eyes" in their songs;I think it represents his world, his reoccurring insecurities, etc.

    D.... ....

    The "bony knees" and "sleepy eyes" expressions are literal
    Kyle (The bassist, he writes the lyrics) said that during the writing of this EP, thanks to all his problems he wasn't sleeping and eating too much

  5. i.... ....

    i really like this band and what they have to say but man the lyrics need to rhyme more often!

    i.... ....

    Rhyming is so late 90's.

  6. C.... R....

    I love this band so much discovered them last year at warped tour went back to watch them in portland! such a great band so much feeling from a pop punk band

    C.... R....

    Clayton Ryan Gordon new found glory is my favorite pop punk band but the songs from this group I’ve herd so far I’m a fan

  7. L.... D....

    Just discovered and I love it

  8. d.... ....

    I saw Real Friends live two days ago and hearing 300+ people singing the last part of this song at the same time was amazing

  9. M.... ....

    This song perfect.

  10. C.... P....

    If you wore your personality on your skin, no one would take a second look...

  11. A.... B....

    I think this is the only Real Friends song without 'bony knees' in the lyrics lol

  12. k.... ....

    amazing

  13. J.... M....

    I'm simply in pieces when I think about the fact that these guys won't be at my warped tour. they stop right before they come to my state. :/

  14. y.... k....

    you guys are amazinggg

  15. H.... E....

    Had an awesome time at warped tour! You guys did great

  16. J.... C....

    They are the exact same time

  17. J.... C....

    No it is not lol

  18. A.... ....

    "We're both fools lost in this cold world", I may say "everyone". Just awesome, can't stop listening to this.

  19. C.... K....

    100% not re-recorded. Both "versions" are 2 minutes and 30 seconds long, so the tempo is exactly the same. And the vocals are 100% identical. The mix does sounds a bit different, but youtube audio quality isn't always top notch. So that could have an affect on why the mix sounds different. Either way its an incredible song :)

  20. M.... P....

    vagine.

  21. A.... W....

    The tempo is the same and so are the vocals...

  22. M.... H....

    It is rerecorded. The tempo is a bit faster, and the vocals are definitely different, and the mix is way different too

  23. D.... R....

    My thoughts exactly.

  24. D.... R....

    it actually sounds exactly like the track off of TSATPYOML EP, maybe it's the same exact recording. Not saying it's a bad thing.

  25. A.... W....

    I don't believe this is re-recorded, they may have played with the mix a little but it doesn't sound all that different in my opinion. Still, awesome song! Three Songs is a sick EP!

  26. J.... F....

    this is a re-recorded version. the original is on "three songs about the past year of my life"

  27. K.... S....

    wasn't this song already out?

  28. B.... S....

    I need it now
