Be My Friend (In Real Life)

I grow weary
I grow jaded
Lines are drawn
Lines are faded
You can seek me out
You can track me down
Call my name from another town

But won’t you be my friend
Won’t you be my friend in real life
Don’t check me in with you tonight
Put down your devices and live your life
Won’t you be my friend
Won’t you be my friend in real life

Face to face
Heart to heart
Oh so close
Yet so far apart
You invite me in
To your made up world
A million pictures worth a thousand words

Won’t you be my friend
Won’t you be my friend in real life
Don’t check me in with you tonight
Put down your devices and live your life
Won’t you be my friend
Won’t you be my friend in real life

You could call me
I could write you
Not long ago that was all we could do
You can look me up
You can read my page
Channel me in a million ways

Won’t you be my friend
Won’t you be my friend in real life
Don’t check me in with you tonight
Put down your devices and live your life
Won’t you be my friend
Won’t you be my friend
Won’t you be my friend in real life
