Friend, please - Cavetown cover (lyrics)

SONG:

ARTWORK:


LYRICS:
I feel for you, but when did you believe you were alone?
You say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home
Where light once was

Petrified of who you are and who you have become
You will hide from everyone, denying you need someone
To exterminate your bones

Friend, please remove your hands from
Over your eyes for me
I know you want to leave but
Friend, please don't take your life from me

Would you let me know your plans tonight?
'Cause I just won't let go 'til we both see the light
And I have nothing else I have to say
But I will listen to you all day, yes I will

Friend, please remove your hands from
Over your eyes for me
I know you want to leave but
Friend, please don't take your life away from me

[rebeccagarner]

I was looking at cavetowns songs and found this and i was like whaaaat

[bi-bibabyblue]

[blandfishart]

[eliaskorf]

"Friend, please don't take your life from me."
My best friend -died- a while ago. I still miss her so much. I would have liked to dedicate her this song. I regret not reminding her enough how much I loved her and how much she deserved... and not having done more, maybe.
May you be in peace now, you're still loved and you will forever be.

The song already makes me cry but.... Damn

[scrypunkghst]

i haven’t even listened yet and i’m alr crying. tøp was my comfort artist in middle school an cavetown is my current one. the his is going to ruin me.

[zodiackitten]

Despite his song's (yes, I know this is a cover) subjects, Cavetown's always got that really wholesome vibe in his music. Sort of like he's comforting you after a breakdown, it makes you feel safe.

[liberty]

I had no idea he did a cover of this I'm dead.
My fav band does a cover of my fav song and I DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA.

[jesuschrist-kujw]

"try to exterminate your bones"

[poptartpotato]

Robin singin friend, please calms me so goddamn much. It’s one of those things where I stopped what I was doin to listen better. I absolutely love this cover, Robin’s voice with the lyrics of Tyler. It’s absolutely breathtakin.

Thank you so much for findin this gem :)

[yareyaredolphin]

I'm pretty sure the reason nobody knows he did this is because they never go on his bandcamp, which means they're literally missing entire albums.

[ranch]

Trying to listen to this cover 2:44 am.
The internet is acting up and it keeps going out at 1:03 right before the best part.
Curses.

[two]

This cover made me more emotional than any other song I’ve heard.

[Captain.curly]

I just found this, and my mum used to play it in the car. I was so happy to find this, the atmo is so calming right now I don't want it to be ruined


Also the part "friend please don't take your life away from me" is like all the people that care about me calling out to me as a stand near a cliff or on a bridge stearing over the edge

[justexisting]

Well I didn't know this existed but I'm glad I know now

[heibaus]

I- my bsf sent me the tøp version of this song and it has been my fav for years. I recently discovered cavetown and this really hit the warm spot.
