A Friend Like You

Dear mister popstar, you’re my only friend
When they played you on the radio, it changed everything
Gave me hope and
I was hopeless
See, I had a girlfriend, she left me like you
When I heard that in your lyrics, man, I felt it too
And it’s hard times
Hiding from daylight
I’m readin' your lines like the guy on the street is readin' the Bible
And I’m gettin' high on all the melodies that you sing
Turn it up, turn it up, put the stereo on
I was lost in the dark, found myself in your song
When I listen I can escape for just a while
Turn it up, turn it up, now I’m singing along
I was feeling out of touch, like I didn’t belong
You should now that all of your words they pulled me through
I’m so glad I got a friend like you
Dear mister popstar, wherever you’re at
I heard your song «Missing Home» 'bout your mom and your dad
You’re just like me
I moved away to the city
I listened to your sad song «Girl On A Plane»
Didn’t make the same mistake, and now she’s taking my name
Wanna thank you
For everything you do
Turn it up, turn it up, put the stereo on
I was lost in the dark, found myself in your song
When I listen I can escape for just a while
Turn it up, turn it up, now I’m singing along
I was feeling out of touch, like I didn’t belong
You should now that all of your words they pulled me through
I’m so glad I got a friend like you
I’m so glad I got a friend like you
I’m readin' your lines like the guy on the street is readin' the Bible
And I’m gettin' high on all the melodies that you sing
Whenever you’re down just know I’m dancin'
To your song that showed me how to love again
My dear friend
Turn it up, turn it up, put the stereo on
I was lost in the dark, found myself in your song
When I listen I can escape for just a while
Turn it up, turn it up, now I’m singing along
I was feeling out of touch, like I didn’t belong
You should now that all of your words they pulled me through
I’m so glad I got a friend like you
I’m so glad I got a friend like you
I’m glad I got a friend like you
