Second single off the upcoming EP, "The Walrus." For a Friend is about navigating conflicting feelings in regards to two types of intimate bonds.

lyrics

The same old feeling comes washing over again
And I don’t know what to think, where you’re at or what I want
But you’re with him…

Do you remember when I called you my friend and I saw the light in you?
Did I want more or just less of this
And could you help me to see it through?
Because you are much farther than far
Better than I will be
So humble and so beautiful
It makes me glad to see

Maybe I will say it to you
When he’s gone...

For long you’ve been in my head
But I don’t mind
See I’m just new at this
And I’ve known not of your kind

And yet I don’t fear you like I fear all the rest
But I still only want you to see my best
And if I could sing then I’d sing it to you
But I’m no bird, so this will have to do
And one day when you have his child
And I’m still lonely and in denial

I’ll look to you like I did then
But not like this
Just for a friend

I don’t have to feel this way anymore
I don’t have to think this way anymore
I don’t have to be this way anymore
I don’t have to feel this way anymore
