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
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
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.
2:01 Fav Part🔥
The late nights in my car have turned into sleepness nights in my house. These vibrations keep me vibrating.
YES!! AMAZING! Such a powerhouse both lyrically and melodically. Real Friends Forever
Thank you for the love
💯
I think they're the best they've ever been!! Love this song😍
Cody sounding the best I’ve ever heard him, great job!
thanks for the love!
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
Dude that fucking rules, nice catch. I’m also such a fan of the structure of this song, how they go into an acoustic sound that evolves into a heavy chorus then it remains heavy but always emotional
Damn, the vocals sound so good.
he is sounding pretty damn good. thanks for the love! -KYLE
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
Heard of you guys on NHL23 and have been hooked since. Reminds me of early 2000's punk / emo. Love it.
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.
Konstantine always tore me apart and made me cry
Now I hear that song and know that...
I like that you noticed the connection
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!

thank you for your service
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.
I think I've never heard of any of you before, but UA-cam recommended and I think it's cool
Welcome. Thanks for jamming us.
"Listening to Konstantine like we did at 17" I felt that in my soul.
love to hear that.
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!
What a powerful voice and talented band ❤❤
Thanks for the kind words. It means the world. -KYLE
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
& 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!
Y'all really have locked in y'all's sound keep up the good work! 🤘
Love everything about this
❤
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 🫶🏻
that means the world. thanks for letting us know.
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.
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 🫶🏻

This is the kind of song/lyrics that get stuck in my head and I’m here for it. ❤
love to hear that
Yeh more sad songs to drive to
exactly. thanks for jamming. tell your friends.
Love to hear a something corporate reference
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.
“Tell me what you thought about”
so happy this has been noticed. I love them.
Wow what a beautiful voice. I love it!!!!!
Every new RF song makes me think of a toxic situation i used to be in and the aftermath even tho im out now
(Also sidenote: love the coorinated swing at 2:11
I hope that’s a good thing? Hahah. Thanks for the love.
@@realfriendsband it's just nice to know that I'm not the only one feeling these emotions
we Love you. glad our music can help.@@c3kile
Cody putting a little Youth Fountain scream in there. Really proud of you guys, can't wait to see you live again.
Really incredible stuff guys. Keep at it. After being blindsided by a divorce this one hits pretty hard.
Love you forever ❤
love you forever and ever and ever
I remember hearing someone describe Real Friends as "shouty lyrics about a girl"
Beautiful
Thanks for existing. You guys have been keeping me going since 2013. ❤ love to seeing you guys grow!
thanks for sticking with us over the years.
This dude was amazing in youth fountain and he’s great hear pleaseeee do a tour with youth fountain

As much as we all miss Dan, the new singer is honestly killing it
His name is Cody Muraro. He was originally from the bands Youth Fountain and Parting Ways. If you dig him, you should check those out too
I freakin love Cody's voice, so great seeing him getting the love he deserve
thanks for rocking with us
Love, love, love this. Constantly impressed by you guys. Love from Skokie ❤
Skokie!! Chicago love. Hope to see you at a show soon.

Quality.
thank you sir
Hell yeah dudes!
Real Friends all day love from Manila PH \m/
Is it ok if I do a cover but I'll have to use the video
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'm always gonna be a fan of you guys 🤟🏻
we appreciate you
literally hit after hit after hit
thanks for saying that. we love you!
@@realfriendsbandright back atcha!
Damn fellas, you just keep dropping bangers 🔥 your performance at Slam Dunk North is still one of the finest sets I’ve experienced all year but I do have one request if you read this…..please come over to the UK for a full headline tour. We’ve got soooo much love to give you! ❤
❤
Keep this up!
I think we will.
First time listener to your band, you guys are really,really good. 🔥💯
ridiculously good vocals!
It’s the gritty vocals for me. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
hell yeah.
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 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.
Cody said comment something stupid so here we go…
Something stupid lol
you could have at least said the song is just okay. hahah
Fucking Rips!! Bring on that new album, fellas. WE ARE READY!! (Please)
hell yeah. thanks! 2024 new album!
I all of a sudden love this band after the NHL games
You guys killed it at House of Blues, I was excited to hear this one again!
ahhh such a sweet show. thanks for rocking.
"en realidad no quiero morir, pero no quiero estar vivo" alta frase directo al espiritu
❤
After a long time i discover really good band.
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.
😁
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 🩷😊
Dancing lady looks familiar
The dancing girl like a Taylor Swift vibe to me for some reason.
Almost reminds me of Hayley Williams from Paramore
it is Haley....@@kotymccallister5150
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.
One of the best RF songs ever
Masterpiece
It gonna suck when I start to get sick of this song but I can't stop hitting that replay button, it's too good
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
Real Friends is in top form
thank you for saying that. makes us feel pretty alright.
Killing Killing killing it!! This is on repeat for me. Makes me feel 15 in my room again😭😭
Album soon?😊
2024 for sure
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.
THIS SONG is so painfully relatable.. im sure to many of us
really love the lyrics, definitely will keep on supporting real friends.
Always excited to see what comes next for you guys. Always evolving and getting better.
thanks so much :)
you guys are refreshing as fuckkkk🔥🔥
you're so kind. thanks!
Hope SEE You guys again in southamerica ❤❤❤❤
hoping to come back in 2024!
This is the first song that I've liked since Dan left. This is cool, feels great to jam Real Friends again.
thanks for jamming it dude!
Absolute banger
love to hear it. thanks for the love. -Kyle
Good job!! Powerfull song and great video 🔥🤘
