LYRICS:
You were easy on my eyes
You were heavy on my heart
I never thought I’d live to see today
You’re still in my mind, but not in my chest
I’m a little worn out since you fucking tore me down
You made me believe we had something
I guess that I was wrong
I thought that I would be numb to this by now
I guess I was wrong
I miss you like the summer
Right now I think I need you here
But I don’t really need you
I’ll get through the winter without you
Stick with me or don’t stick around at all
I was the boy that was too scared and ran away
I was the glue that never dried
You were the girl that made up her mind and left me all alone to die
I’ll sit on my basement floor, turn off all the lights and try to not think about you
Just know that when I’m down there I’ll know that I won’t be running through your mind

[@nathanchelf4011]

The way he screams "heavy on my heart" is fantastic

[@Oldcoyoteblues34]

Falling in love is like hearing a soft lullaby. Falling out of love is like screaming into the void. That’s what I got out of those two lines.

[@ThisismeiamJo]

I've always loved this song, but I never thought it would apply to me until right now. Never thought I'd be so heartbroken,

[@DrProcrastinate]

same tbh

[@tjmflame1683]

Jocelyn Martinez I love your profile pic

[@sunkenship8572]

Same for me , at this very moment

[@saidhafidz4883]

how are you now?

[@Pickledpaula]

Jocelyn Martinez same sis

[@DanTheManNation]

The video is meant to show growth, just like the song "Summer" shows growth from earlier times, like "Anchor Down". The dude is coming out of probably a hard divorce/break up and is now on his own, he lets himself go, but then puts himself back together, and eventually takes it one step at it a time, until he goes back outside to face the world, even if it's just quickly to realize he isn't 100% ready yet. Beautiful video to match a beautiful song. Also I think it all totally represents Kyle in a really quick way.

[@rainylaine]

You made me believe we had something Well I guess that I was wrong This broke my heart.

[@jjustGreg]

+Raine Ramos It can hit the spot

[@rainylaine]

+JjustGreg yeah you're right. It really hits me hard too

[@rhiannon8522]

Same it made my heart do that twinge thing

[@GideonAlexSmith_]

brought on that lonely hurt empty shock... definitely learned my lesson.

[@emedemente666]

U.y

[@kurtcobain6075]

I had to let go of someone who was doing more harm than good. Sad songs like these always seem to make me feel better.

[@JC-hv4rh]

So does a shotgun

[@Misugai]

It's interesting how people really seem not to like the lyrics to any of their songs. Yet, for me, I find it the exact words I feel. I relate to these so much. Which also kind of sucks because when I try to write lyrics myself I end up writing parts of theirs

[@Klinthrin]

+ItsAPartyGetDown Imo their lyrics hit way too hard, people dont want to accept the truth..

[@TheUltimateWiseau]

+Klinthrin or their lyrics are basic af. look at other bands using their diction to elevate what they're saying. Real Friends shells out zombified verses of "sad" to relate to a group of people. they're more of a guilty pleasure than an actual band I would recommend

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Their lyrics suck, but we like them anyway. The part about him sitting in the basement with the lights off is soooooooo fuckin whiny.

[@saddestdayever1276]

Dude, right! I was reading criticism of their lyrics and I am really like "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?" I think they have the best lyrics of any pop punk band!

[@alexyudha3443]

went back and rewatched this since we're quarantined rn.

[@Brentsmithrocks1234]

Right at the end hes just like "fuck this shit. Outside is horrible"

[@WhyWasTheDefaultMyWholeName]

Graphics are great, Gameplay is alright. Respawn times suck.

[@oliviagrace6983]

The outernet is too scary

[@aayala298]

this song will be a golden treasure forever, i'm thankful it exists

[@matteoiommi7844]

I MISS YOU LIKE THE SUMMER.

[@jorjor112200]

+Matteo Iommi RIGHT NOW I THINK I NEED YOU HERE

[@MyckelJay]

+hey hey hey it's j. |-/ BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED YOU.

[@Gummy41329]

+MyckelJay I'LL GET THROUGH THE WINTER WITHOUT YOU!

[@animegirlspit]

you're all cancer

[@Gummy41329]

its sad because its true

[@maggotdan]

i really liked this video i saw it as he locked himself in to spend the winter alone (seasonal depression) and hopes for when it gets warmer he would feel better but when he goes outside he feels he not as ready as he hoped

[@Fritochik12]

Love it! The time lapses are rad:) But that dog totally had to go out to pee.

[@taylormckinna6353]

Ha

[@MichaelMonka]

That's what I thinking but then again he had whole winter teach his dog to use the toilet. Haha.

[@taylormckinna6353]

Probally but how would it work to take a shit dogs tail would get all wet

[@MichaelMonka]

Taylor Mckinna You know a dog can hold its tail up, its not just dead weight on the dog.

[@insightt_t]

nahh thats why the dog was only in for a little while ..... it died ..rip cute doggy

[@savmattingly3214]

This video was so incredible. The way it was filmed and written, and how well it related to the song... I felt this video on a very deep, emotional level. Love it.

[@endleegames]

I'm surprised there hasn't been any comments about how relateable this video has been for the year of 2020 😂

[@tashasmith2612]

11 seconds into the song and I already like the band omfg

[@Alonso_html5]

This band always reflects different phases of my life, well probably not just my life i feel that a lot of people must feel the same way sometimes , how sometimes i feel sad after break up and on those lonely days you just don't know what else to do but just miss that other person .

[@freewhirr]

I really enjoy the fact that Real Friends went on sort of a different Route with the new album. It's a good change. They focused on dynamics and more emotion. It's a great album, all throughout.

[@kaievans]

Oh Real Friends, when do you not make me feel things? I already really loved the album but now this song and video just really do it for me. Cant wait to see these guys out again with The Maine.

[@CharnekieBoss]

why is this the best music video I've ever seen?

[@consumingtheeyeballs]

Words can't describe how close to home this song and video hit for me.

[@austinbergen9505]

I feel yeah man

[@CaliforniaHarmonics]

That makes three of us. Hope you guys have been able to get through your own winter

[@alaynaspriggle8299]

The videography in this video is stunning, it really makes me want summer when right now it's cold and snowing outside. Real friends always nails it with lyrics, these are beautiful. This song has become one of my favorites along with I've Given Up On You!

[@bradlink1007]

The "I'm a little worn out, since you fucking tore me down" gets me every time

[@spylikealexrider]

Okay but did he not walk the dog at all

[@Chloe-mn8yo]

+Angelica Raqeal doggy door maybe??

[@ricardomarron8534]

This song helping me with my heart broken, can't describe how this song makes me feel, just love every line from this song

[@Ocean1ccc]

this video takes on a whole new meaning these days

[@doranxdarby]

Yup. This is the perfect example of a depressed, online school student with no friends. I know thats not the point of the video but it's still extremely accurate.

[@RockVanilla1]

heres what i think of this video: this guy wants to be alone for almost a year. when the weather has noticeably changed and he realizes life is outside, thats why he goes outside. he probably goes back inside because he wants to make this change little by little.

[@DickslapMcgee]

I thought the video was pretty straightforward, he just got dumped and he goes into depression, but at the end when he goes back inside its because he realizes he's not ready to move on. Fits the song

[@tomarestop]

And this, kids, is an example of "what the author meant" VS "what your English teacher thinks the author meant"

[@iamBENJIx]

ORRR he left the water running.. thank you ill be here all week!

[@tomarestop]

LMAO

[@eveesss5898]

quarantine vibes

[@tyroneTy2024]

This dude knew that the quarantine's gonna happen and prepared for it years ago..

[@swampalienz]

when he put the sign back on the door I was sad

[@Lizzylizardgirl]

It’s been a year since he left. These lyrics right now are something I definitely relate to. Because I never thought I’d see the day where I think about him and not have it hurt…I’ve grown so much since he left. But there’s still times when I think about him and it still slightly hurts. But not as much as it used to. He truly made me believe that we had something but I was dead wrong. I know I’ll make it through this winter without him. I cant find another song that I can relate more to at the moment.

[@planB5675]

I love the plot of the video, it ties in so perfectly to the lyrics. We all just want to get through the winter.

[@nicolepagano7761]

I'm loving this video as much as this song, the time lapses compliment it perfectly. Real Friends just keep getting better and better.

[@devinsalerno202]

I connect with this video on a spiritual level

[@DecapodianR]

Almost through the winter without her now

[@TheatreGeek216]

I love Real Friends so much!!! It was so great to see them play back in November! The fact that the movies are VHS just brings back memories from my childhood, but I don't think he had enough!

[@slightlynervous]

I can't tell if this guy is old or young

[@kayarose1772]

+I'm Fairly Local he's like 25

[@heyholetsgo]

Looks like Soupy

[@willm5032]

@@heyholetsgo What as in Dan Campbell of the wonder years? nahhhh fam I dont see it

[@axtius66]

I love the way they portrayed the song through this video. Its not the most typical video, yet I feel like a lot of people live like this inside themselves (not necessarily literally in a house). But this visualizes it perfectly. Great video for one of my favorite songs on this album!

[@nnicolevanessa]

I miss you like the summer!!!! I love this song. So excited to see them with The Maine!

[@TobiUchihaIsObito]

This music video is perfect, it captures exactly how some of us react to losing someone important, and the song does a pretty good job at that too. Best video from Real Friends this far. 10/10

[@kathrynmilliken6538]

Like all Real Friends songs, the lyrics to Summer are very beautiful, not to mention quite relatable especially with this terrible winter weather!

[@TaylorYdg]

I've loved this song since the album came out, but I first found this video when I lost someone near and dear to me. Almost a year later I showed the song to someone new, who I cared very much for. Now I've lost them, and I'm back at this video again

[@emocobra666]

love this and makes me miss summer

[@Angel6Z4yt]

I fuck with this song heavy.

[@baileydawson5985]

I love how well this music video goes with the song!

[@Haley0308]

This is honestly one of my favorite songs off the album and I think this video does an AWESOME job at getting the point and emotion of the song across to an audience. I seriously love this. Great job.

[@crazedchinchila]

I loved the video! It goes very well with the song which is something you actually don't see a whole lot.

[@JoseGutierrez-hl7rl]

Damn ...one of my fav bands man

[@poppapunker6238]

I'm out here freezing in the midwest... CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@midwestemxn]

Same!

[@poppapunker6238]

+Poppa Punker Once again... CANT WAIT FOR SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha last summer I also met a girl, fell in love, and she left me. How fitting to this song lol.

[@kaitytiernan6892]

These guys never let me down, and this is one of my favorite songs off the new album. Well done guys!

[@NoNamedNobody692]

We all know that "Cover You Up" or "I Think I'm Moving Forward" should've been used instead. Those to me seem like they would be powerful singles for this album. Introducing new fans to the essence of what Real Friends is all about. Hard riffs, relatable lyrics, jamming choruses. I don't think "Summer" and "I Don't Love You Anymore" are bad songs at all, I just think that there are more worthy songs as RF's singles. This is my favorite band after all. Not bad.

[@robbyjohnson1735]

I agree with you for Cover You Up, I think that one should've been used instead of sixteen. To me sixteen is trying too hard to be like I've Given Up On You and Hebron. If I Think I'm Moving Forward were a single I would've traded that with Loose Ends. The two are kind've even with me though because they both would've been the weaker singles out of the ones they have released. Cover You Up definitely is the best song off the album though.

[@NoNamedNobody692]

Robby Johnson I agree with you about sixteen. I wouldn't personally have chose that as a single either. Dan's vocals can get a little over dramatic sometimes when it comes to their slower songs, but really I think it depends on what Eric wants to write about. I disagree with you about Loose Ends and I Think I'm Moving Forward though. I personally think Loose Ends sounds too similar to Cover You Up. In ITIMF, I think the overall song on it's own is very powerful, from the lyrics to the way their implemented in the hard hitting chorus. My only problem with the song is that I feel that it's too short. But I do agree in saying that Cover You Up would've been the perfect single to release for the album. I love the song an incredible amount. And having Joe from Knuckle Puck on there during the bridge I though was wonderful. I really wish he was used during the last chorus though. Overall, not bad, but not that spectacular compared to Everyone That Dragged You Here (which is my personal favorite by RF). I did enjoy Put Yourself Back Together too.

[@uzisboringsummer6288]

***** I think this should have been the first single, then cover you up (or vice versa) then sixteen (you sort of need an "acoustic" song in there you know?). I love loose ends but it took some getting used to (personally) where as I loved summer and cover you up from the get go. I think there's more of a variaty of sounds on this album? It took me time to tell songs apart on the ep's because they often had the same sound. (my opinion). Can't wait to hear the new stuff live ^_^

[@JesselynMarie]

I feel that the band decided what felt right to themselves. Although, some other songs might be more lifting in the way they produce them to us, however I think the band was gripping at the lyrics more in my opinion. I adore their choice of music videos in I Dont Love You Anymore and Summer, they deserve to be produced in the way they were, so they did a fantastic job conveying how they thought their band truly was.

[@1thenatural1]

This hits home. When you get heartbroken, it can make you depressed where you just want to sit around and do nothing...I gained 10 pounds over the year from a break up...but now I'm working out and walking a lot more and I've lost 12. So F**K you ex!!

[@SophieArabella]

Hell yeah! Exes are the worst

[@1thenatural1]

+Sophie Arabella 😝😎

[@SherySecondhand]

Dan's voice gave me chills through out the song love the band

[@LayDownYourGuns33]

One of the greatest songs off the album. Great video.

[@tofaided]

Ever since I started listening to real friend s my depression slowly but surely us starting to fade

[@billymulligan]

I found the ending priceless. Love the story behind this.

[@chaoticbluegirl5861]

This only adds to the many reasons why I love real friends

[@Meekotona]

Oh man. Words. Feels.

[@clarisagarcia6228]

I love this song! Was not expecting them to do a music video like this, it's cool to see them go a different more serious route. You know that this song really means alot to them.

[@SilverMDMA]

I love the cinematography of the video itself.

[@Shomy2564]

This video surprised me,its better than i expected. Best song of the album!

[@tias234]

It's great that this is one of those subtle yet powerful videos matched up with Real Friends' powerful lyrics and vocals. It's a perfect fit

[@samanthajocretella8970]

They were so awesome live!

[@katelynbrown98]

I just discovered this band tonight, so this is only the fourth song by theirs that I've heard. Someone on one of their other videos commented saying that they loved how much they sound like The Starting Line in this song. In a way, I feel like this song is the opposite of The Starting Line's The Best of Me".

[@alexspitz5579]

This video and song are so good! I like how he barricades himself inside all winter and comes out for one second in the summer lol. Really fits with the lyrics, congrats on the new video Real Friends!

[@soupafleye]

i swear to god i can relate so much to real friends i love them so fucken much thank you

[@tommytsunami4910]

im surprised the words "boney knees" werent in the lyrics somewhere. every one of their songs is about ex gfs and boney knees

[@MrCowry1003]

And sleepy eyes

[@FabiooPRC]

You guys are annoying as fuck with this "sleepy eyes and bony knees" thing. There's a reason to these words and Kyle already explained, get over it.

[@tommytsunami4910]

you know the dude personally? thats cool. you could just as easily get over the fact that us annoying as fuck guys say these things.

[@pabloescabar4771]

Ryan Locke kyle refers to these boney knees and sleepy eyes is because he was depressed and had a eating disorder hints boney knees

[@FabiooPRC]

Pablo Escabar Exactly. There's a great post about it on Property of Zack which Kyle itself made. Really detailed and all that.
