Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Met you in that faded bar
Bad ideas and borrowed cars
Laughing till the lights came on
We were kids who got it wrong
You saw every wreck I made
Sat with me those endless days
Told me that it’s fine to break
Watched me heal from my mistakes
[Chorus]
You were the bad times
You were there through hard times
Fun times
Sad times
You were always there like a true friend
You were my late nights
You were my “it’s alright”
Wrong turns
Slow climbs
You were always there like a true friend
[Verse 2]
Called you when my world went dark
You just said
“I’ll grab my car”
Showed up in that same old coat
Listened more than you ever spoke
Cried out on your kitchen floor
We’ve slammed doors
Then fixed the door
Still you save a chair for me
Like that’s where I’m meant to be
[Chorus]
You were the bad times
You were there through hard times
Fun times
Sad times
You were always there like a true friend
You were my late nights
You were my “it’s alright”
Wrong turns
Slow climbs
You were always there like a true friend
[Bridge]
Some folks fade like a song at the end
But you stay loud in my head
My friend
If I lose everything
I know what I keep
Your name on speed dial when I can’t sleep (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
You were the bad times
You were there through hard times
Fun times
Sad times
You were always there like a true friend
You were my late nights
You were my “it’s alright”
Whole life
One line
You were always there like a true friend

Style
rock, Warm indie rock with chiming electric guitars, live drums, and male vocals. Verses stay intimate and slightly behind the beat; chorus lifts with wide open chords, gang-style backing vocals, and a driving snare. Subtle bass movement glues everything together, bridge strips back to vocal and guitar before a final full-band chorus crash., sad, indie rock
