when everything is wrong
I'll come talk to you
you make things alright
when I'm feeling blue

you are such a blessing
and I won't be messing
with the one thing that brings light
to all my darkness

you're my best friend
and I love you
and I love you
yes I do

there is no other one
who can take your place
I feel happy inside
when I see your face

I hope you believe me
'cause I speak sincerely
and I mean it when I tell you
that I need you

you're my best friend
and I love you
and I love you
yes I do

[guitar solo]

I'm here right beside you
I will never leave you
and I feel the pain you feel
when you start crying

you're my best friend
and I love you
and I love you
yes I do

you're my best friend
and I love you
and I love you
yes I do
yes I do
yes I do

    this song is wonderful. my best friend is going through some bad things, and she has been feeling pretty down lately, but i'm going to play her this song, and hope it cheers her up, even for a minute.

    This song means the world to me. It sounds just like me & my best friend, i was trying to find a song that reminds me of him and...i did! Everything it says is EXACTLY how i feel (and vice versa). But i love him like my best, best best best best best best (etc...) friend/"brother". But we're graduating & he's moving so its sad...tear But it doesnt change the way i feel or w/e...

    what's to say this song is about a romantic interest? cuomo never says "i'm in love with you," just that he loves whoever the song is about. seems intentionally platonic to me, more about the non-romantic imtimacy between two best friends. i don't really see the whole unrequited love angle here. but i like the simplicity of the song.

    who knows... could be singing it to a girl... or a guy... or his dog... or himself?

    this song means a lot to me... i mean A LOT... my best friend and i were in a big fight... going as far as saying we're completely done with one another... which really sucks becuause ..well.. we love each other ...i mean he has plans of us being married in the future and all... and the very last thing i said to him before we were going to go our seperate ways was "read the lyrics to my best friend by weezer" ten minutes later i was hearing "i miss you... i love you... and thank you for everything"...tears this songs a life saver :0)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
