Best Friend by Taylor Trensch, Alice Lee Lyrics

[Diane]
Is it someone you can count on
Always and forever
Does he leave you feeling swell?

[Peter, spoken]
Yeah, I guess

[Diane]
Is he someone you can whisper
Every private secret
Knowing he would never tell?

[Peter, spoken]
Yeah, that one for sure

[Diane]
Well, it sounds a lot like you have found the person

[Peter]
That I'd walk through fire for and keep on going!
[Diane]
Oh, wow, okay!

[Peter, spoken]
Oh! Sorry

[Diane, spoken]
Why?


[Diane]
You want to shout it out
Go on and shout about
The way he makes you feel inside!

Oh, everything's better with a very best friend
Staying true together
Getting through whatever!
Days are red letter!
Life is fun with a friend!

B-E-S-T

[Peter]
F-R-I-E-N-D
[Diane]
And a heart over the I!
Life is just better
With a best friend!
Na na na na na

[Peter]
Na na na na na

[Diane]
Na na na na--


[Peter, spoken]
So, who's your best friend?

[Diane, spoken]
My mom. I tell her everything. We're really close I think because I'm... adopted

[Peter, spoken]
I know. I've met your parents. They're black

[Diane, spoken]
Oh, right. Plus, I spent a lot of time with her 'cause I was homeschooled-- or home-"cooled", as my mom and I called it!

[Peter, spoken]
Do you really feel like anything is possible?
[Diane, spoken]
Well, with a best friend, sure!


[Diane]
Someone you can lean on

[Peter]
Someone you can love to
Even if you don't know why

[Diane, spoken]
I hear ya

[Peter, spoken]
Do you?

[Diane]
Someone to look up to

[Peter]
Kinda like a soulmate
The all-around perfect guy

[Diane, spoken]
You're really getting this!

[Peter]
A boy to make me with

[Diane]
A friend to bake with!

[Peter]
Gonna get butt-naked--

[Peter, spoken]
OH MY GOD, just as friends, they do it in Sweden!

[Diane, spoken]
I didn't know that!

[Peter, spoken]
Isn't it crazy?

[Peter]
You want to stand and sing it
And you want to tell the world

That everything's better with a very best friend
Standing true together
Them with you forever
Days are red letter!
Life is fun with a friend!

[Peter]
B-O-Y-F-R-I-

[Diane]
Huh?

[Peter]
E-N-D!

[Peter, spoken]
Ah! I'm just a terrible speller!

[Diane, spoken]
Oh, me too!

[Both]
Best friends get you through

[Peter]
Your days when you're doubtin'

[Diane]
Can make all your outfits!

[Peter]
You chase away monsters

[Diane]
Can help explain Kwanza

[Peter]
Embracing your feeling
And maybe revealing

[Diane]
She's my whole world!

[Peter]
He's my whole world!

[Both]
(S)he's my best friend!
My best friend!
