Bright Eyes - It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends Lyrics






Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes, but it's just on the cheek
You pull away so easily

And I still call you, but I get your machine
And I still call you, but I get your machine
And if I'm lucky I guess, I get your roommate answering
But you're at the bar, or at Gene's

And we go to dinner, but you won't hold my hand
We sit at the same table, but we don't play with our feet
Yeah, we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don't sneak a kiss
When the waitress turns around

And we still watch movies, but we don't share the couch
And we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch
Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes, but you don't lay in my lap
The plot is slow, take a nap

And you even stay over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you'll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes, but we stay in our clothes
I'm only there so that you're not alone

And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer
Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer
Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let's contrast and compare
Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there

I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies
I guess your kind of truth, is just the ghost of your lies
Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies
I see through them all the time
So I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk
Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey, I'm going to get really fucking drunk
I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk
That I pass out, forget your face, by the time I wake up.

    2020💛

  7. D.... B....

    Reminds me of the guy I met at rehab. We were supposed to get better together. “I don’t have many friends, but when I do, they become family.” I wasted those words on him. He never called.

  8. a.... c....

    If ya'll think this is sad, go to Juan Gabriel, hasta que te conoci (in English).

    This is THE song when I need to have a good cry.

    I will never get over how beautiful this song is.
    This song will forever hit home

  11. F.... ....

    Man I am so glad I don’t live this out anymore. Love still hurts but if you pour as much of your energy into making yourself into something it truly does dull the pain.

  12. B.... B....

    I have been looking for this song for so long i genuinely thought that i had imagined it im so glad i found it

    I love the raw emotional behind this. I wish i could feel this much pain, so I could know the passion that came before it.

  23. a.... a....

    Torturing myself

  24. T.... ....

    Super strange, but this song reminds me of my ex.

  25. d.... ....

    There’s a sort of community in all of us heartbroken assholes coming back to this song over the years, even the people who commented 2 years ago or 5 years ago or whatever we’re all just kind of here together, hurting together

  26. i.... ....

  33. L.... D....

    Hope everyone listening is doing ok. Hang in there

  34. M.... K....

    I asked this guy I was fucking if he wanted to be my boyfriend and after a few days of thinking about it, he told me no but that he "really wanted to be friends" and he does. And I don't wanna be friends but I don't wanna lose him so I figure what the hell, I'm not the type of person that's meant to be happy.

    M.... K....

    Hey. Youre meant to be happy but maybe not with him. You're worthy of love. Love yourself

  35. J.... L....

    Well here we go again I guess. It's been a few years, but it's good to be back.

  36. D.... S....

    So I'm gonna get real fucking drunk!

    D.... S....

    Cause that will fix it, if get real fucking drunk. It'll work out, right?

  37. A.... R....

    Oh uh.. it's almost 2 years,And here i'm again,Listening to this song 😶

    -19 may 19/indonesia

  38. b.... ....

    The melody kinda reminds me of "I Wanna Get Next To You" by Rose Royce

  39. D.... ....

    It's been a while and I've been doing fine, I hope you are too

  40. O.... F....

    Lift up your shirt the wound isn't there......

  41. S.... ....

    Cringe melodrama

  42. t.... ....

    Years later this song still gets me in the feels

  43. S.... J....

    A couple years ago l found this song on accident here I'm finding it again on purpose

  44. B.... ....

    for the girl whose her heart was broken by me, i'm sorry if my apology doesn't enough to fix your broken heart.

  45. S.... ....

    If you like this check out Beck “Lampshade.”

  46. J.... M....

    Hello again Bright eyes. 🙃

  47. A.... V....

    I thought I'd relate to this but my ex that said we'd stay friends won't even say hi to me in the halls anymore

    A.... V....

    Don't worry.....You have a lifetime ahead of you! High school is 4 yrs of your life, it will not define you.

  48. I.... B....

    God damn.... oh fuck..... god damn.... shit!!!!😨 ........ is ... is he dead?

  49. l.... m....

    can't believe i used to play this exact video on repeat when i was 12 and now i'm a full adult still listening to this on repeat

  50. W.... S....

    don't read the comments

  51. W.... S....

    you pull away so easily

  52. B.... M....

    this is a fucking dark song, truly only meant for people in a dark time

  53. b.... ....

    Been meaning to check out Bright Eyes for many years.. I don’t know what I think. Would be fun to cover but I kinda don’t like the voice. Elliott Smith will forever be the go to I guess. But it’s not fair to compare much to that guy.

    b.... ....

    booognish well if you ever do check them out, give “im wide awake its morning” a listen. It’s there best work if you ask me.

  54. K.... G....

    2019 haaaaaaaaaaaaay

  55. k.... ....

    Fuck, I'm here again.

  56. I.... B....

    Recently went through a break up and she said we can still be friends i should have sent her this.

  57. K.... R....

    Fuck this..... lol so right?

  58. a.... j....

    miserable feelings should not exist

  59. w.... ....

    the end sounds like me when i call my ex

  60. M.... D....

    I just wish I understood. maybe if I could it wouldn't hurt so much.

  61. O.... M....

    Dam this shit is depressing

  62. A.... H....

    Wow this brought back so many memories.. I’m shaking

  63. d.... ....

    13 years since I found Conor and his beautiful music

  64. K.... ....

    Fuck this hurts

  65. M.... M....

    Of course she's the one who showed me this song.

  66. B.... ....

    One too many drinks and emo songs... and I always end up here...

  67. M.... B....

    Please research the flat Earth!

  68. W.... L....

    I like this song but it should be sang by someone with a real raspy broken voice not someone who is trying to make it sound raw

    W.... L....

    Mc Max Leonard Cohen comes to mind

  69. J.... L....

    I keep coming back here...

  70. J.... W....

    Wow YouTube recommends why are you making me feel these things?

  71. M.... ....

    fuck, this stings

  72. A.... S....

    I do like him but can't help but feel he's a second rate Elliott Smith as the latter could write a genuine rock tune despite being lo-fi folk. But I'm quite new to his music so feel free to prove me wrong. I'd prefer to be proven wrong x

  73. S.... G....

    lmao naaaaa

  74. J.... B....

    anyone else ever come here just because its a good song? im not sad...that sad at least lol

  75. A.... S....

    Oops I'm here again....

  76. A.... F....

    I still ride my motorcycle by her house, then to the bar

  77. D.... H....

    Feelings that come back, are feelings that never left.

  78. s.... b....

    call it intuition. felt the urge to listen to it on repeat the day before he left me.

  79. K.... A....

    I am here once again I always come back :(

  80. R.... R....

    i’m back so fast from last time, nice

  81. L.... ....

    Breaking my heart again 😢

  82. D.... P....

    My girlfriend and my first real love at 43 year old has just split up with me. Yea I've had girlfriends, but not like Kelly. She is so different from anyone I've ever met. I thought she felt the same, but I was wrong. Because no matter what if you love someone, you'll never let them go! I'm a broken man. I deserve everything too. My biggest life lesson EVER!!! I don't know what to do. I'm sorry for showing my feelings publicly, but I need to tell someone, so why not a load of strangers who love the same song and quite a lot are probably here for similar reasons. I can't see a future.....There isn't one.

  83. r.... ....

    3 mil? I've never been this late to a party

  84. N.... S....

    My chest

  85. S.... S....

    And I thought being friends will make it work.
    You'll always think of someone special with whom you're just friends now, listening to this song.

  86. M.... R....

    seriously, no.

  87. N.... T....

    I say I have nothing to live for and you say "no, don't". Everytime I close my eyes I see death but you, selfish you, want me to stay alive for you.

  88. R.... R....

    this my sad place hello

  89. k.... j....

    this just shattered my heart into a million pieces.

    feels like i have a literal brick on my chest now.

    whyyy did i listen to this ¿?¿?

  90. J.... R....

    you know we can’t but i don’t want to let go yet

  91. J.... A....

    I guess this song will always be part of me ✨
