Lyrics of Zoe Konez – Friend Like That

I’ll meet you at the staircase, by the station
And we’ll walk ‘round Olympic Park
Just until the sun sets
I’ll tell you about the time that I rode through here
And down the canal
To the lighthouse, under the Skyline
I don’t know if you know about that?

Went with my friend, who planned the whole route
On paths ‘cos I don’t usually cycle on the roads now I’m grown up
I get so scared of these streets like you wouldn’t believe
I need someone like that to bring me back out

And you say ooh..
“I wish I had a friend like that”
Oooh ooh ooooh
I’ll say, “I only have a few if I’m honest”
Oooh ooh ooooh

We’ll sit on the jetty
Down in the classy side of town and watch the sailboats
All drift right past us
I’ll tell you about the time, years ago
When me and my friends went north
Hired a house, all 10 of us
To ring in the brand new year

And we walked ‘til we got lost
And we talked ‘til we cried
I know we’ll never forget that time
We didn’t even know each other very well
But that week we got a whole lot more close

You say ooh.. “I wish I had friends like that”
Oooh ooh ooooh
And I’ll say, “we’ve drifted apart now if I’m honest”
Oooh ooh ooooh

Don’t think it’s you
It’s all of us
Ever since the last few years
Even despite all that

Don’t think it’s you
It’s all of us
Ever since the last few years
And even despite all that

You said, “I wish I had a friend like that”
Oooh ooh ooooh
And I’ll say “I only have a few if I’m honest”
Oooh ooh ooooh
