LYRICS:
I've been up spending every late night in my car listening to all these sad songs
I know it sounds weird but they're helping me move past all these things running through my head
I'll blame the Midwest and sleepy eyes
I'm not where I should be
I'm not what I could be
But I'm not who I was
Nostalgia gets the best of me
When I wake up it's the same day
It fucks me up and makes me miss who I used to be
All I have are thoughts of me from back when I was eighteen and my bony knees
Don't want it to be like my teenage years
I was naive and weak back then without much trouble on my shoulders
If I don't break, I won't know how to put myself back together
If you never break, you'll never know how to put yourself back together

[@dipperpinesmabel1398]

Things real friends talks about: 1: boney knees 2: sleepy eyes 3: things running through dans mind 4: the Midwest

[@rhondakiese]

This is so true lmao.

[@danielmcknight1446]

+Chaz Hague Actually bony knees and sleepy eyes are reffering to dan.

[@sophiacaruso424]

Dipper Pinesmabel to be honest

[@DittaDemon]

Daniel McKnight no they are not, they are reffering to Kyle, their bass player, who writes most of their songs

[@brett_norris]

This song hits a lil different at 21 than it did when I was 16

[@Diego_Barrr]

brett norris try it at 25

[@cliffchambliss]

Or 36

[@cROSSingth3RUBICon]

yeah, try it again at 30, my guy.

[@shadowthunderjacobs5678]

If you never break you'll never know how to put yourself back together

[@francescamarie1220]

Davo Q what the fuck is that supposed to mean.

[@DavidDavoDavidson]

still crying i guess?

[@tristiandasher973]

Franki Cimino I would assume you've never been through a tough loss or extreme stress but your mind and body basically just break down into either random crying or an absolute explosion of a mix of different emotions surging through your body leaving you broken in a sense. If you've never gone through that, you won't know how to get "right" again and become yourself again.

[@desertsk8ter]

I have this lyric tattooed on my arm

[@hyenagametalk7293]

[@KatelinMeekis]

boney eyes. sleepy knees.

[@stillsober19]

Maaaan this song instantly transports me back to being 17. Life was so simple back then. You know, people should really tell you at that age how fast this shit flies by.

[@Cabinet_Juice]

I miss this kind of Real Friends, the sleepy eyes and boney knees kind. now its just the "im sad" Real Friends :(

[@ellsdotexe]

I absolutely love it when Dan screams because he isn't screaming in the musical way, he's letting everything out and just screaming at the top of his lungs. It's fucking powerful

[@maceymurfitt]

I feel like heaven is speaking to me when I listen to real friends ❤️

[@maceymurfitt]

Dude that made no sense... Like at all. XD

[@Fitz-st7jr]

THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SO POPULAR IN 2006 LOL. WISH I COULD GET SOME MIDDLE SCHOOL NOSTALGIA OVER THIS SONG BUT IM TOO OLD. lol

I saw them play this live last week. Hearing over 100 people scream "IF YOU NEVER BREAK THEN YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IF YOU NEVER BREAK THEN YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IF YOU NEVER BREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKK" was one of the most awesome experiences ever.

[@LAG3]

I still love this. 👍 "If you never break, you'll never know how, to put yourself back together! "

[@KillAllScooters]

At warped tour a guy and I played patty cake on the edge of the pit. If that's not the most pop punk thing you've heard all day.

[@josephineevans7983]

You da real mvp

[@emmyheartsyouall]

I remember seeing them at soundwave festival.. loosing most of the contents of my handbag in the pit. Had people bringing my stuff to me. It was wholesome.

[@liamthewanderer1593]

This song made me feel nostalgia for all of the times that I've felt nostalgic. hmmm....... xD

[@robbyjohnson1735]

I love this band so freaking much. I think I had this song on repeat for a good half hour one day. I can't wait to see what becomes of these guys. The lyrics are just so honest and easy to relate to

[@dlrsnate5100]

Remember when I was 19 , listening to this and thinking this was catchy and not really understanding the content. Now I’m 25, and this is just so relatable. Of course I miss being 18, but I also love being 25. That was a wild 7 years fam. Maybe I’ll return again in another 7 years to this comment.

[@AudenxRyan]

everyone should stop fighting and just enjoy the heartfelt music these amazing guys put together for us.

[@agcoolgirlrocks]

definitely one of the best bands i've seen live

[@pokemongirl62]

Self help line up brought me here ♡ so happy it did.

[@darthdrol3032]

I used to listen to this shit for fun in highschool but they sure hit different 6 years later when you’re 25.

[@dlrsnate5100]

Haven’t heard this since I was 19, kinda crying fam. When I was 19 I just thought the song was catchy, now I’m 25 and i completely understand

[@shino4548]

Saw these guys yesterday with 4 other bands including Citizen and The Wonder Years it was an amazing night. I even got to chat with the band members they were all great.

[@Dubstep4LIFE2901]

Bree LaRocque sounds like a dope lineup

DEM BONY KNEEEEES

[@willm5032]

As someone who was sixteen during the 00s Pop Punk boom, this song hits all the right feels. Especially dat chorus, damn

[@michfaiths]

This band has produced the soundtrack to my summer.I cannot get over how great they are.

[@AwesomeGenius96]

Back after a few years, doesnt feel like im a kid anymore.

Always come back when I’m feeling low

This song is amazing. Maybe the best one they've ever released

[@hucrew123456]

Oh my gosh, thank you for being not cold-hearted. Dude, seriously. Thank you for mentioning him. He's chubby, but in the best way, his voice is fantastic. One of the best in pop punk I can say with confidence.

+Shawn McGrath I love real friends but I definitely wouldn't mosh to them. they're more of a singalong type performance

[@halliemarion680]

I regret saying I enjoyed moshing to this band after experiencing actual mosh pits. Don't yell at me, I was like 15.

[@CypherSAV]

their shows are lit though, tons of crowd surfers

[@ROCKIT94]

I still can't stop listening to this, this band is extraordinary

[@xCyanosis]

That's their motif! Every band has that one subject they always call on. For Real Friends, it's bony knees and sleepy eyes!
