Friends

These lyrics express quiet companionship, patience, and unconditional support. The repetition and short lines create a sense of stillness—like someone sitting beside another in silence, offering presence rather than solutions.

Themes and Meaning:

• Waiting and Uncertainty:
• The repeated words sitting, waiting, wondering reflect emotional limbo—being there without answers, sharing the weight of not knowing “why.”
• Shared Anxiety:
• “Silent worry” and “sleepless hours” show empathy. The speaker isn’t distant from the pain; they are affected by it too.
• Listening Over Fixing:
• Declaring “I will listen” emphasizes emotional availability. The support offered is not judgment or advice, but understanding.
• Trust and Safety:
• “Lean on me” and “give it a try” suggest gentle encouragement—support that respects the other person’s pace.
• Enduring Friendship:
• The closing lines affirm loyalty. Friendship here is steady, lasting, and emotionally nurturing.

Tone and Style:

• Soft, minimalistic, and comforting
• Almost like a lullaby or whispered reassurance
• Repetition reinforces calm and reliability

Overall Description:

This piece captures the power of simply being there. It honors friendship as a quiet force—one that listens, waits, and remains present through uncertainty and tears. It’s not about answers, but about not being alone.
