Lyrics:
I’m still avoiding the exit that goes to your old house
Listening to Konstantine
Like we did at seventeen
But I know it’s not helping me out
I wish I could let go & blame someone else
I wish I could tell you that
I don’t really wanna die
But I don’t wanna be alive
Like I did when you were here
I think I’m just scared to death
That you’ll always mess with my head
Like you did when you were here
You said I’m being destructive
I guess I’m just stuck in my old ways
The self pity I’m caught in is like a broken cassette
Wrinkled tape of regret
Yeah, we were both too selfish to change
I can’t get over this cause you’re already over this

This is the first music we’ve released without the support of a record label in over ten years. With that being said, your love and support for us goes further than ever now. When you share this video or song, know that it means the world to us. This is literally not possible without you. You’re a part of this. We love you.
Saw y’all in Austin this summer and you guys were incredible 🤘🏼 keep it up
I knew I would love it because it's ya'll....a Konstantine reference in the opening third
This slaps like the original shit. Labels be holding you down dudes
Love you guys!!!!!
Awesome saw your show in Tampa got a shirt and some random girl was like I love Real Friends I got nervous brushed her off but almost got to make a friend because of you guys...anyways love the music
"I don’t really wanna die, But I don’t wanna be alive" . Hits me pretty hard lately, such relatable line of lyrics, great song guys!
thanks for telling us. so glad you're digging it. -KYLE
That passage in the chorus where Cody sings "I think I'm just scared to death" and the drummer plays the same rhythm as Cody's enunciation is so damn satisfying, brillantly done
I haven't listened to them since Dan left.... this is fuckn good.. wish I didn't sleep on them after the change
thanks for jamming! more music soon.
WHY DID DAN LEAVE
Cody sounding the best I’ve ever heard him, great job!
thanks for the love!
YES!! AMAZING! Such a powerhouse both lyrically and melodically. Real Friends Forever
Thank you for the love
💯
I haven’t liked a pop-punk song in a long time. This rules and goes hard.
Thanks for letting us know. There’s more where this came from.
What a powerful voice and talented band ❤❤
Thanks for the kind words. It means the world. -KYLE
I don’t think these boys, will ever realize how much we truly love them and appreciate them! Love the fucking song!🖤🥺
We love and appreciate you too. Big big love.
Damn, the vocals sound so good.
he is sounding pretty damn good. thanks for the love! -KYLE
I think they're the best they've ever been!! Love this song😍
As much as we all miss Dan, the new singer is honestly killing it
Cody putting a little Youth Fountain scream in there. Really proud of you guys, can't wait to see you live again.
I’m really grateful for Cody being in Real Friends. Everything is perfect right now for you guys! Please don’t ever think to break up or something like that. Love from Indonesia. 🇮🇩
First time listener to your band, you guys are really,really good. 🔥💯
This is the kind of song/lyrics that get stuck in my head and I’m here for it. ❤
love to hear that
I freakin love Cody's voice, so great seeing him getting the love he deserve
thanks for rocking with us
Nah cause I literally just mistyped a lyric from a different band missing RF and then this comes out... the universe is fucking real.
Was it knuckle puck by any chance?
hope you dig the song
DOOOOPPPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP MAKING THESE KINDS OF MELODY AND RHYTHMS IN POP PUNK !!!!! THESE ARE WHAT OUR EARS AND BRAINS ARE CRAVING FOR!!
hell yes. feeling the love.
I heard this on Jango for the first time a few days ago and I keep replaying this over and over again. This is a fantastic song. Eager to listen to more of this band.
Heard of you guys on NHL23 and have been hooked since. Reminds me of early 2000's punk / emo. Love it.
Konstantine always tore me apart and made me cry
Now I hear that song and know that...
I like that you noticed the connection
Absolutely love the grunge-y vibes!!!! I can hear that Static Dress influence too!!! Killer song!! ❤
glad you are digging it. thanks for jamming with us
Need that new album ❤❤❤
After a long time i discover really good band.
Real Friends is in top form
thank you for saying that. makes us feel pretty alright.
Thank you guys. the day you guys released this I was having death thoughts for the first time in years. Just a really hard season. The chorus is everything. It's not that I wanted to die, I want to live, I just want the pain to stop and sometimes death feels like the only way it will stop. I have several practices now to get me through to the next day and people to reach out to. But this song helped me the day you released it. So seriously, thank you.
❤ thank you for connecting
Don’t give up, brother. I know I’m just a random stranger. But I’m rooting for you! 🤙
@@JoeydrinksSherry Hey thanks man it means a lot. I'll never give up. Generally happy considering how crazy life is right now. I'm rooting for you too!
@@leightonstarks2328 No problem, and hell yeah! I’m glad to hear that. & thanks man, I appreciate that more than you know. Going through an unforeseen trial right now so that means a fucking lot. Seriously
Life is so very hard and expectations we place on ourselves (and others place on us) is unreal. I don’t know you, but there are people like me who do care. It’s what a band like Real Friends brings together. People like you who can feel safe talking about their feelings, and people out here who care. I’m sending you a hug - Chrisann
Man, another one to add the the life track. This is going to be the soundtrack to so many peoples adolescence, and make them feel so much less alone.
Always producing quality.
Congratulations on the independent release!
This song absolutely hits all the right spots. Really vibing with it.
Thanks dude
ridiculously good vocals!
It’s the gritty vocals for me. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
hell yeah.
I just love this song more and more and more. I want even more people to share it with because it’s so raw, so genuine, and so true.
This has to be one of my most played songs on my phone, it just hits so damn close to home. I guess 5 years do simply fade away.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE INSTRUMENTALS ON THIS TRACK GUYS! you guys evolved so much and i'm really happy to see my all time favorite band keep on releasing new bangers
Thanks for the love. -KYLE
literally hit after hit after hit
thanks for saying that. we love you!
@@realfriendsbandright back atcha!
I think I've never heard of any of you before, but RUclips recommended and I think it's cool
Welcome. Thanks for jamming us.
This dude was amazing in youth fountain and he’s great hear pleaseeee do a tour with youth fountain
Real Friends all day love from Manila PH \m/
Oh my goodness that Singing your drummer is awesome and the guitarist an the bassist heaven to my ears perfection guys an happy weekend love Cody
love to hear it. thank you!
I've been following the band since 2014 when I first got dragged to a concert. Honestly though, that night was wonderful and I have loved seeing the evolution of the band since. You all have been there for me in a way that pulled at my heart strings and felt like a healing bowl of soup at the same time. This bop is absolutely fantastic, congrats on releasing such an incredible song independently and keep on rocking!
Sincerely,
A lost boy with bony knees
that was really nice to read. thank you for such kind words. we appreciate you so much. love- Kyle
I all of a sudden love this band after the NHL games
This is BEYOND EPIC along with Torn in Two EP, you guys are killin it!! I’m still jamming out to those songs two years later every week❤❤❤
thanks for such kind words. we appreciate you.
this song is fucking awesome know that, im jumping all around my room lmao
THIS SONG is so painfully relatable.. im sure to many of us
You guys killed it at House of Blues, I was excited to hear this one again!
ahhh such a sweet show. thanks for rocking.
Goosebumps, this is the first song I’ve listen too since 2016 and I’m so happy with the change and keeping the band alive :). Also love the poetry Kyle i have ur books 🩷😊
Damn this shit hit so hard. Just had a buddy of mine pass away a couple weeks ago and he was the life of the party. He always told me I was better than the party life and I’d rise above it. This song can be interpreted in so many ways and that’s why it’s beautiful, but I take it as a friend telling another friend that he’s there.
Maybe I’m just grieving
Masterpiece
One of the best RF songs ever
& the boys do it again! I am thoroughly convinced that the guys cannot make a bad song. Big record company or not, you guys will have a loyal fan in me for life. ♡ keep 'em comin' boys! You guys are amazing!
been here since 2016 ❤️ I just saw y’all in on tour and you guys brought the best energy ever!! I’ll always support you guys, much love from WI 🫶🏻
F I R E
It's so good!! 🌸
I recently just started listening to you guys and I have to say I’m obsessed. Everything from the lyrics to the instrumentals. Keep it up guys love ya😁🫶🏻
thanks! welcome, new fan.
"Listening to Konstantine like we did at 17" I felt that in my soul.
love to hear that.
I got this song as an ad and loved it
wow, what a great ad.
@@realfriendsband wow you responded i didn't expect that. luckily i found it because it was on my tv so it didn't show the name or your band name but i found it and i also enjoyed some other song. are you guys inspired by Set It Off?
Cody always reminds me of that actor who played REACHER
This does sound like a song Thad Castle would 100% sing at the Karaoke 😂
I cannot and don't think I'll ever really ever be able to express my love and gratitude for you guys 😭💙
we love you!!! your kind word mean the world.
Always excited to see what comes next for you guys. Always evolving and getting better.
thanks so much :)

This is actually the second time they referenced this song. the first time was back in 2014 when Dan lambton was still in the band
Or a reference of lyrics from a song by The Starting Line.

Wow, what a great day.
