1. We’re Going to Be Friends by The White Stripes
Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
2. All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem
We go back to your house
You check the charts
And start to figure it out
And if it's crowded, all the better
Because we know we're gonna be up late
But if you're worried about the weather
Then you picked the wrong place to stay
That's how it starts
3. Best of Friends by Palma Violets
I wanna be your best friend
I don't want you to be my girl
I wanna be your best friend
I don't want you to be my…
I don't want you to be my…
4. My Friends by Red Hot Chili Peppers
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
5. My Only Friend by The Magnetic Fields
Billie, you're a miracle
And God knows I need one
Sing me something terrible
That even dawn may come
You and me, we don't believe in happy endings
6. Brother by NEEDTOBREATHE
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
7. Best Friend by Rex Orange County
You're gonna wanna be my best friend baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
I said that
You're gonna wanna be my best friend baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
8. I Love My Friends by Foster The People
All my friends are, they're on vacation
But I'm just stuck here in this parking lot
Well, looking for a mirror, I'm looking at a screen
These pixelated dreams are blowing up my pocket
I'll find some action, we'll cut the scene
I'm on a merry-go-round, I'm in a washing machine
Just spinning
9. these are my friends by lovelytheband
These are my friends
I love them
And they don't care who you are
They don't care what you do, no
These are my friends
These are my friends
I love them, I love them
10. Best Friend by Foster The People
(When your best friend's all strung out)
You do everything you can 'cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start
11. Brother by Kodaline
When we were young, we were the ones
The kings and queens, oh yeah, we ruled the world
We smoked cigarettes, man, no regrets
Wish I could relive every single word
12. Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get one more chance
