The song "Friendship" by Jordy Searcy explores the complicated feelings that can arise between two friends who have a strong connection but are hesitant to take their relationship to the next level. The lyrics describe a moment when the singer's friend comes to him after ending a relationship, and they both know that there is something going on between them that they are not addressing. They dance around the "elephant in the room" and try to deny their feelings because they are afraid of losing the friendship. The chorus repeats the question: "Tell me if we're just friends, how come it never feels like it?" The singer is struggling to understand why their relationship feels so intense and meaningful if they are only friends. They are both scared to take things further because they don't want to damage their existing friendship. The song also references a shared history and memories that the two friends have together. The singer remembers a moment when they were together and a song was playing, and they were both happy. However, the distance between them makes it feel like they are a "million miles" apart. In the bridge, the singer pleads with his friend to be honest with him about their feelings. He wants to know "something real" and "something true" because he doesn't know how he feels. Despite his fear of ruining the friendship, he admits that all he wants is his friend. Overall, "Friendship" is a poignant and bittersweet exploration of the complexities of relationships and the fear that can hold us back from pursuing what we truly want.
