Friends Like These 03:47
lyrics

Carmen and I climbed out of my window Oh the look in her eye, as we ran through the meadow Where old jacky would wait with full box of white dreams How we ran on the lines, we were caught in the high beams With friends like these I can do as ever I please I can be what ever I want to be With friends like these The twisting of tongues on our own little island A wolf and her young and the screaming of sirens As we ran through the fields You primised we’d never get old Oh children can you feel, the night is taking hold With friends like these I can do as ever I please I can be what ever I want to be With friends like these Can you feel it Can you feel it Taking hold Come on Come on With friends like these I can do as ever I please I can be what ever I want to be With friends like these With friends like these We can do what ever we pleaser We can be what ever we want to be With friends like these

The Love I Give 03:43
lyrics

I know sometimes Sometimes we cry I think about love in a lot of ways And if it didn’t hurt would it feel the same Oh what a life What beautiful life it is Trying to keep hold of the love you gave And give a little back in a better way I've seen blue skies The colours look amazing Reminds me of the day we met You know I’d never change it Never change it No leave you I wont No leave you I wont The love I live I live for you No leave you I wont No leave you I wont The love I give I give to you Darling theres a dark side to every street And sometimes in the strangers that we meet And I gotta keep hold of the love you gave And give a little back in a better way 'Cos I've seen blue skies The colours look amazing Reminds me of the day we met You know I’d never change it I’d never change No leave you I wont No leave you I wont The love I live I live for you No leave you I wont No leave you I wont The love I give I give to you It's alright It's alright

No Words 03:09

I tried to call you Because I had a vivid dream About the way that all of our love Disappeared You know that moment between wake And between sleep When it all still feels so real But then you see You see the light come crashing through The curtains where we used to sleep On all the empty space you leave To show me what this could have been No words No words No words Could ever bring you back to me I dream of a place that we still meet In the corner of some bar on a quiet street There's a stranger with flowers for someone sweet, that I Saw and I though of you and me And the crowded sound doesn’t bother me As the bells rings out you hold onto me But the birds sing loud And its waking me As I reach for you I see the light come crashing through The curtains where we used to sleep On all the empty space you leave To show me what this could have been No words No words No words Could ever bring you back to me No words No words No words Could ever bring you back to me If I was honest I would say that I don’t want it this way If I could only see your face No words No words No words Could ever bring you back to me You’re so hurt You’re so hurt You’re so hurt From all the words I could not keep

When you gonna come and wake me up Cos I don’t feel so well When you gonna come and shake me up Cos I’ve not been myself When you cleared out your clothes yeah you left my head in a mess I let you down and I've never been so aware Im a broken man and I've never felt so depressed Its making me so god damn nervous Im good for nothing if I'm not good to you Im good for nothing if I'm not good to you Good to you Good to you Its been this way for a long long time, and I don't know why But I woke up this morning filled with light So when you gonna come and give me love Cos I have been missing the way it was Drinking on my own cos I'm trying to feel something less Im all alone with the thought of you in my head Im a broken man and I've never been so aware Its making me so god damn nervous Im good for nothing if I'm not good to you Im good for nothing if I'm not good to you Good to you Good to you I don’t wanna be the one to tell you that theres something wrong I don’t wanna be the one to tell you what you saved me from I don’t wanna be like this, only like this I don’t wanna be like this Im good for nothing if I'm not good to you Im good for nothing if I'm not good to you Good to you Good to you

Even When It Hurts 03:03
lyrics

I know you’re sleeping in a different room I don’t feel like I’ve been talking to you Wanna kiss you in the morning When the sunlight shatters over you Life is so complicated When every body’s watching you And I've been self medicating Trying to find a way to talk to you How we ever gonna make this work? How we ever gonna keep this song alive? If we don’t fight If we don’t cry And if we don’t try Even when it hurts, I want you Nothing seems to work, I need you Days and nights are blurred I wanna be right by your side Even when it hurts Even when it hurts Even when it hurts I wanna be right by your side I wish I never saw you cry But I never want to filter life I wanna hold you in the morning I’d do anything to dry those eyes We don’t want to be suffocated By the pressures of a modern life As everything around us changes There will always be you and I How we ever gonna make this work? How we ever gonna keep our song alive? If we don’t fight If we don’t cry And if we don’t try Cos even when it hurts, I want you Nothing seems to work, I need you Days and nights are blurred I wanna be right by your side Even when it hurts Even when it hurts Even when it hurts I wanna be right by your side I’ve been going crazy I’ve been going out of my mind Giving it all of my time Tryin to live all of this life All I wanna do is Press your skin against mine I wanna be right by your side And I want you, right by mine Are we ever break this curse? Are we ever gonna keep our souls alive? If we don’t fight If we don’t cry And if we don’t try Cos even when it hurts, I want you And nothing seems to work, I need you Days and nights are blurred I want you right by my side Even when it hurts Even when it hurts Even when it hurts I want you right by my side Even when it hurts I want you right by my side

Weightless 03:29
lyrics

Last night I had a dream about you It woke me up I never knew I missed you I swear to god it isn’t what I'm used to And I'm going out of my mind In this dream we were flying so high Galaxies and Saturn rings in your eyes You disappeared and left me in the night sky And I just don’t understand why You just left me weightless Could’ve made it painless Knowing I can’t change this Waking up alone Please don’t leave me weightless Even though you’re blameless Only you can save this Its out of my control Cos you just left me weightless Looking back I guess the bitter truth is I was young, I never thought I’d lose this If I could I would give it all Cos I'm going out of my mind I should have listened when you needed me Cos, all you needed was my honesty And, I was half the man you saw in me But I want you to see that I’ve changed Please don’t leave me weightless Could’ve made it painless Knowing I can’t change this Waking up alone Please don’t leave me weightless Even though you’re blameless Only you can save this Its out of my control Cos you just left me weightless You just left me weightless And I know that I cant go on waiting Reaching out for the hand that’ll save me Lookin down on the world as its fading In to dark Wondering where you are Tonight I can’t catch my breath Cause I feel like I’ve lost it all I’m drifting on my own

Suffering 03:37

I take too much of everything Straight in to my blood and it's never enough So far ahead of myself Wrapped up in the sheets I’m alone without us We could have been soft We could have just laughed and talked about the boring stuff Instead of being so hard And now I've lost everything I've ever had I don’t want you to be suffering I don’t want you to be suffering How could I ever hurt you How could I ever hate you Sometimes I wish I was someone else Somebody helping you love your self How could I ever change you How could I ever fail you I shut down communication lines I closed all of the windows I stay awake at night Left all your coins by the bedside light To remind me of us spending all our time Do you think of me at all Those mornings we’d laugh until we cried a thousand times Is it too late to call Are we about to lose everything we ever had I don’t want you to be suffering I don’t want you to be suffering How could I ever hurt you How could I ever hate you Sometimes I wish I was someone else Somebody helping you love your self How could I ever change you How could I ever fail you All this trouble inside of us Tried to break us and keep us up in the night, in the night All this trouble inside of us Is it too late to call you up in the night, in the night I don’t want you to be suffering I don’t want you to be suffering How could I ever hurt you How could I ever hate you Sometimes I wish I was someone else Somebody helping you love yourself How could I ever change you How could I ever fail you

I get this feeling Every time I'm alone My thoughts hit like cannonballs All I want is to Hear your voice on the phone But I don’t want to bore you So I lie lie lie lie Don't wanna hide with this crying in my mind Yeah I lie lie lie lie I wanna tell you I'm terrified I think I need somebody to lean on To fight off the demons To tell me the secret to overcome weakness Find something in the way we fall All the beauty in the love we lost If I don’t wanna sleep And you don’t wanna eat We could dance around the room Like a silhouette in bloom Find something in the way we fall The beauty in the love we lost Im blue as forget me Im blue as forget me Im blue as forget me nots You once told me these Old wounds always gonna bleed I just need to let it be part of me You see these scars And you see the beauty that it leaves Now I need to feel you hold on to me So I try try try try Don’t wanna hide with the cryin in my mind Wont you come and lay next to me Oh when you’re with me I know I won’t feel so alone I think I need somebody to lean on To fight off the demons To tell me the secret to overcome weakness Find something in the way we fall All the beauty in the love we lost If I don’t wanna sleep And you don’t wanna eat We could dance around the room Like a silhouette in bloom Find something in the way we fall The beauty in the love we lost Singing I, I, I, I Don’t know what I'm going through Singning I, I ,I ,I Somehow how you see this through My eyes, I I I I Me and you will dance around the room, like a silhouette in bloom I think I need somebody to lean on To fight off the demons To tell me the secret to overcome weakness Find something in the way we fall All the beauty in the love we lost If I don’t wanna sleep And you don’t wanna eat We could dance around the room Like a silhouette in bloom Find something in the way we fall The beauty in the love we lost

No I never used to dream this much I was blinded by the fear of god I was looking down but never up Then you hit me like a rush of blood I knew I was fucked but not that much I was trying to run from who I was But theres something in the love you got Now that I'm waking up to this I wanna see the things I missed I wanna taste your every kiss Let's drink to this I wanna lay beneath the trees And let all my tears dry on your sleeve And now that we’re talking honestly Let's drink to this So put your bags down on the floor Hit the light and close the door To have you here is all I want I always knew I had it wrong I’d close my eyes and I would run But I had to fall just to belong Now I'm living for another song Now that I'm waking up to this I wanna see the things I missed I wanna taste your every kiss Let's drink to this I wanna lay beneath the trees And let all my tears dry on your sleeve Now that we’re talking honestly Let's drink to this You’re all I ever wanted Yeah its all I ever wanted Now that I'm waking up to this I wanna see the things I missed I wanna taste your every kiss Let's drink to this I wanna lay beneath the trees And let all my tears dry on your sleeve Now that we’re talking honestly Let's drink to this

about

"Friends Like These" is the first album from RHODES in 7 years, and he is determined to make a strong comeback with this powerful body of work. The album is written either alone or with RHODES' best friends in the middle of a drinking session, it is musically diverse and quite chaotic and it is truly representative of his experience of falling into a dark space over the past few years, and finally stumbling upon the right path with good friends and good people. RHODES flips the old saying of "With friends like these, who needs enemies" into a positive thing by naming the album "Friends Like These" to celebrate friendship, hope, and realization. And expresses how grateful he is having found the true beauty and clarity in this world. The sincere emotions demonstrated in the album are accompanied by RHODES' powerful vocals and sophisticated and iconic songwriting, making this album a strong work from start to finish.
