Inviting a Friend by Evan Shinn Lyrics
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
With the gas light on, it’s a long drive down i-70
All her friends in the back chase shots; wanna shack up fraternities
She’s got trouble in her heart, didn’t wanna start the car, there’s a history
She couldn’t say goodbye though she never really tried; insecurity
It’s the exit on the right campus lights in sight and now he’s calling
[Chorus]
Because it’s something familiar, undressed in his bed
With his hands all over her, but this time instead
He’s just a friend inviting a friend, at least that’s what he said
He’s just a friend inviting a friend
And you give in…
You give in…
You give in…
[Verse 2]
Once the sun comes up, daylight fucks up your aching head
And when you look to your right, there he lies on your side in a silhouette
Go reach for that door, grab your clothes off the floor smoke that cigarette
Cuz it’s a long ride home feeling lost and alone when
This here blanket don’t mean shit to you
It ain’t easy I know, but you know it’s true when he’s done and through with you
[Chorus]
Because it’s something familiar, undressed in his bed
With his hands all over her but this time instead
He’s just a friend inviting a friend, at least that’s what he said
He’s just a friend inviting a friend
And you give in…
You give in…
You give in…
[Bridge]
But is he really something you need?
If you feel cold under his sheets?
Oh you’re so much better than the love he seeks
And so much stronger than the tie you keep with a boy who never treats you right
[Chorus] (For the entire last chorus, the words treats you right linger from the final verse)
It’s something familiar, undressed in his bed
With his hands all over her but this time instead
He’s just a friend inviting a friend, at least that’s what he said
He’s just a friend inviting a friend
And you give in…
You give in…
You give in…
Woah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Because it’s something familiar, undressed in his bed
With his hands all over her, but this time instead
He’s just a friend inviting a friend, at least that’s what he said
He’s just a friend inviting a friend
And you give in…
You give in…
You give in…
