Verse 1:
No I think I'll stay in tonight
Skip the conversations and the "oh, I'm fine’s”
No I'm no stranger to surprise
This paper town has let me down too many times
Why do I even try, give me a reason why
I thought that I could trust you, never mind
Why all the switching sides, where do I draw the line?
I guess I'm too naive to read the signs
Chorus 1:
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
Every time I let somebody in
Then I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Wonder where they're all hidin' out
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Gotta get up out of this town
PostChorus 1:
Oh
Yeah
Verse 2:
I stay up, talkin' to the moon
Been feelin' so alone in every crowded room
Can't help but feel like something's wrong, yeah
'Cause the place I'm livin' in just doesn't feel like home
Chorus:
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
Every time I let somebody in
Then I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Wonder where they're all hidin' out
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Gotta get up out of this town
PostChorus 2:
Oh
Lookin' for some real friends
Ahhahh
Ahh ahh
Bridge:
I just wanna talk about nothin' with
somebody that means something
Spell the names of all our dreams and
demons for the times that I don't understand
Tell me what's the point of a moon
like this when I'm alone again?
Can I run away to somewhere beautiful where nobody knows my name?
Chorus:
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
Every time I let somebody in
Then I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Wonder where they're all hidin' out
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Gotta get up out of this town
Outro:
Oh (ahhahh)

Yeah
Ahhah
