Old Friend - Mitski

Hey, old friend, it's been awhile I hope everything's well, and you're doing alright The things that I see keep me up at night Most days, I don't know if I'll get out alive War keeps raging on Yeah, I'm holding on to hope But the hope is almost gone When life's a loaded gun You wouldn't believe the things I've done But I'll tell you all about it when I'm home Oh-whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh-oh Hey, old friend, it's been a while Without you here, things don't seem right Yellow ribbon's fadin' out to white Drinking next to the barstool that you left behind I hope you come back soon Tonight, I bow my head, and say a prayer for you War keeps raging on Keep holding on to hope, even hope feels like it's gone When life's a loaded gun Every day's a battle won And you'll tell me all about it when you're home Oh-whoa-oh-oh Oh-whoa-oh-oh Hey, old friend, it's been a while In my best suit, I came to say goodbye Barely a man gunned down at 21 They folded your flag, and gave your tags to your mom War keeps raging on Raise a glass to soldiers fightin' Raise a glass to soldiers gone 'Cause life's a loaded gun But I'll see you again, my old friend When the good lord, when the good lord calls me home

He needs a quiet room With a lock to keep him in It's just a quiet room And he's there He plays an old guitar With the coin found by the phone It was his friend's guitar That he played Mm-mm He's never been in love But he knows just what love is He says, "Never mind" And no one speaks He thinks he drinks too much 'Cause when he tells his two best friends "I think I drink too much" No one speaks No one speaks No one speaks He plays an old guitar With the coin found by the phone It was his friend's guitar That he played When he plays No one speaks No one speaks When he plays No one speaks

Oh this isn't what I had pictured Gonna tell you all them issues Saying we should just be friends Maybe that's not much of an issue And I've be breaking down for hours Posting back what was ours Baby can you let me in, yeah Cause baby I just need a friend Who love and let me in I won't ask for everything I won't ask what could have been I'd rather have you anyway Take a loss and take you in I don't want this song to end Baby I just need a friend Not much left of what was ours I been breaking down for hours Baby can you let me in Baby I just need a friend Yeah we never really came off official Always got us fussin' the issue But back when we would hang as friends Those are times that I'm really missin' And I could run it back for hours Posting back what was ours Baby can you let me in, yeah Cause baby I just need a friend Who love and let me in I won't ask for everything I won't ask what could have been I'd rather have you anyways Take a loss and take you in I don't want this song to end Baby I just need a friend Not much left of what was ours I've been breaking down for hours Baby can you let me in Baby I just need a friend Cause baby I just need a friend Who love and let me in I won't ask for everything I won't ask what could have been Not much left of what was ours I been breaking down for hours Baby can you let me in Baby I just need a friend

You just stood there screaming Fearing no one was listening to you They say the empty can rattles the most The sound of your voice must soothe you Hearing only what you want to hear And knowing only what you've heard You, you're smothered in tragedy And you're up to save the world Misery, you insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery, there's much more to life than what you see My friend of misery You still stood there screaming No one caring about these words you tell My friend, before your voice is gone One man's fun is another's hell These times are sent to try men's souls But something's wrong with all you see You, you'll take it on all yourself (Remember) misery loves company Misery, you insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery, there's much more to life than what you see My friend of misery (my friend of misery) Misery, you insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery, there's much more to life than what you see My friend of misery You just stood there screaming, oh My friend of misery Yeah, yeah, yo

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
