You said I didn't cry out to the clouds for nothing You told me everything eventually works out That's what I'll keep telling myself I don't wanna be Jealous of the trees next to my neighbor's garage anymore I'll just lie in the mess I made Don't let me fall off the edge and break down Try not to forget everything I said Just another week And I'll pick myself up off my bony knees I guess it took a year to realize that what I had was Everything I needed to feel okay But still I've got these sleepy eyes That have seen too much for me to handle I'm not gonna lie My skin and bones have seen some better days Thirty pounds ago seemed like a more stable place to stay I'm not gonna lie My skin and bones have seen some better days I'm not gonna lie My skin and bones have seen some better days Just another week And I'll pick myself up off my bony knees I guess it took a year to realize that what I had was Everything I needed to feel okay But still I've got these sleepy eyes That have seen too much for me to handle There's no point to the floorboards in my house Nothing feels right And I can't stand up without you Nothing feels right Just another week And I'll pick myself up off my bony knees I guess it took a year to realize that what I had was Everything I needed to feel okay But still I've got these sleepy eyes That have seen too much for me to handle
You guys have helped me through so much man, your music has made me realise who really is important and who isn't. I now know that I shouldn't ever let girls mess with my emotions, because they aren't worth my time. My friends are all I really need right now, and if they cant help me, then the music you guys make certainly will. So i'd like to say thank you for everything you lot have done for me over the past couple of years, although your unaware of it and may not even see this message. I don't know where I'd be without your music. Seen real friends live twice and it was the best experiences of my life, hopefully you visit the UK again soon and if so, come right back to Newcastle, we love you up here.
Proud to say I grew up around these guys. All those shows that these guys played in my friends basement! They got so much attention so quickly. So proud.
This band has seriously stumbled upon something really special here; if these guys don't explode in the next year or two, then I have absolutely no faith in the world anymore.....
This song along with "Anchor Down" definitely have the potential to become classics within the pop punk genre years from now. (They kinda are in my book already). I'm proud of the success these guys have had. They're one of my favorite bands. I just wish Kyle would go back to this type of writing style for the majority of their songs: -Catchy, Honest, Authentic, not TOO sappy or borderline melodramatic (like "Sixteen" or "Mess" for example), and relatable to/for a lot of people. It's definitely a hard balance to find. Especially within the Pop Punk genre (which is known for being overly optimistic prior to the 2010s). But it can be done. The Wonder Years, Neck Deep, Citizen, The Story So Far, and Turnover are bands that have all utilized this tactic, and have be able to pull it off very well for the most part. Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, Modern Baseball, City Lights, Paige, State Champs and others are also bands that have attempted utilizing this tactic as well, and for a lot of fans, seem to be hit or miss depending on the album or song. Their (RF's) new album was fairly okay for the most part I found. Much more enjoyable then their debut IMO. My favorite tracks on it are: -Stay In One Place -Empty Picture Frames -Isolating Everything -Keep Lying To Me But my all time favorite RF songs are: -Floorboards -Anchor Down -Lost Boy -Cover You Up -I Think I'm Moving Forward
Colo Valdez Not a problem at all. Also be sure to check out: -Balance and Composure (Reflection, Tiny Raindrop, Back of Your Head, Lost Your Name) -Can't Swim -Moose Blood as well :D
Saw you guys Friday in Toronto. Was super stoked when you played this song. Also your drummers Alien story was pretty intense. Come back to Canada soon!
I want a Real Friends, With The Punches, Neck Deep, The Story So Far, Forever Came Calling, Four Year Strong, Title Fight tour. I would call it ''Friends are forever tour''
wow, this is the first band on the warped tour ticket that i've seen that wouldn't get boo'd off the stage in 2002. i might actually go if there are more of these.
You said I didn't cry out to the clouds for nothing
You told me everything eventually works out
That's what I'll keep telling myself
I don't wanna be
Jealous of the trees next to my neighbor's garage anymore
I'll just lie in the mess I made
Don't let me fall off the edge and break down
Try not to forget everything I said
Just another week
And I'll pick myself up off my bony knees
I guess it took a year to realize that what I had was
Everything I needed to feel okay
But still I've got these sleepy eyes
That have seen too much for me to handle
I'm not gonna lie
My skin and bones have seen some better days
Thirty pounds ago seemed like a more stable place to stay
I'm not gonna lie
My skin and bones have seen some better days
I'm not gonna lie
My skin and bones have seen some better days
Just another week
And I'll pick myself up off my bony knees
I guess it took a year to realize that what I had was
Everything I needed to feel okay
But still I've got these sleepy eyes
That have seen too much for me to handle
There's no point to the floorboards in my house
Nothing feels right
And I can't stand up without you
Nothing feels right
Just another week
And I'll pick myself up off my bony knees
I guess it took a year to realize that what I had was
Everything I needed to feel okay
But still I've got these sleepy eyes
That have seen too much for me to handle
LOL!

Scott Logan hope you are still pop punk after this time
Lol
preach man, same right here
THIS BAND IS GIVING ME THAT AUTUMN VIBE
bro this EP is still the fucken best after all these years
It’s aged extremely well. You could tell me this came out yesterday and I’d believe you
Mhm. Blessed to have met dan before he parted ways with the band. Truly a beautiful human.
I read that as passed away and I almost fell to the ground but same man seeing them live with dan was awesome
these guys got me through the summer most of me and my friends best moments had RealFriends blasting off someones phone
Awesome.
I can't believe they came to Japan and played this song.Now it's my favorite song.
What's up with these guys and singing about knees?
and sleepy eyes ?
It's a metaphor. When the lead singer was 18 he had boney knees; also when he was 18, he was depressed, it's like, an in-direct link :)
Connor Ovington the bassist:P the basist writes most of the lyrics.
I know :) But this was based on the lead singer, it says on their tumblr page :D
Connor Ovington :o that i didnt know
This song will never get old
Proud to say I grew up around these guys. All those shows that these guys played in my friends basement! They got so much attention so quickly. So proud.
I'm not gonna lie. This is one of my favorite songs right now. Thanks for being Real Friends!
This band has seriously stumbled upon something really special here; if these guys don't explode in the next year or two, then I have absolutely no faith in the world anymore.....
easily one of the best new bands out there. keep this shit up, you're goin far.
This song seriously helped me get through my shitty day today. Thanks.
Amazing band thank you for being around
This has the most pop punk guitar break in history
Saw them live, it was a Pretty good set, nice guys
GOTDAMN these guys blow me away with each song I listen to... Midwest reppin' at it's finest!
This band is just amazing!!! Definitely watching you guys at Warped.
ugh why did i take so long to check out this band it's so gooooooood
saw these guys in tinley park IL at the warped tour and they killed it!! love these guys
Just 4 more days until I see them in Portland, couldn't be more stoked
Every Real Friends song is my favorite Real Friends song
This song along with "Anchor Down" definitely have the potential to become classics within the pop punk genre years from now. (They kinda are in my book already).

SFLOVER94 Don't forget Monday.
I was looking for more bands like Real Friends. Thanks for that comment.
Colo Valdez Not a problem at all.
Also be sure to check out:
-Balance and Composure (Reflection, Tiny Raindrop, Back of Your Head, Lost Your Name)
-Can't Swim
-Moose Blood
as well :D
I already know a few of them (I'm a Modern Baseball fan) but I'll make sure to check the rest, thanks fam :D
State Champs is more bouncy and up beat, so I think they utilize the tactic perfectly along with Neck Deep, The Story So Far, and The Wonder Years.
Saw you guys Friday in Toronto. Was super stoked when you played this song. Also your drummers Alien story was pretty intense.
Come back to Canada soon!
These guys are doing so well for an unsigned band. Keep doing your thing.
This song is absolutely amazing, just like the band.
Reminds me of the good old days of summer.
been searching for like an hour for good new music and this song made me say fuck yeah within the first ten seconds, im hooked.
"Listening to real friends with real friends" I miss you 💔
11 years old and this song still bangs
This is literally the best song i've ever heard in my life.
I want a Real Friends, With The Punches, Neck Deep, The Story So Far, Forever Came Calling, Four Year Strong, Title Fight tour. I would call it ''Friends are forever tour''

Keep up the good work
thats an amazing lineup - too bad its not in southern ontario or I probably wouldve heard of it.
love it
2021 anyone? Ah the nostalgia of this song
This song was dope at warped 2016 in milwaukee
POP PUNK!! YOUR ALIVE AGAIN!!! :D
Seen this band live and I fucking love them
Good music
Nice song
Punxsy show is going to rule with you dudes!
You forgot The Wonder Years and Such Gold. :P
Ah high school angst, I feel it in my past self.
Hit different in 2021
guys please don't stop making music
you guys need to make new songs!!
what about the wonder years and such gold?
i prefer the acoustic version of this song, but then again i prefer acoustic anything X)
It's not auto tuned.
Listen to their acoustic,
This gives me so much hope for Pop Punk. POP PUNK'S NOT DEAD!
I got home late really last night. I woke up with sleepy eyes & boney knees.
same here.
please add man overboard & the wonder years. :) it would be sick
I don't wanna be jealous of the trees next to my neighbor's garage anymore. I'll just lie in the mess I made.
JUST ANOTHER WEEK!
