Besties Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 1]
I wanna be anywhere other than this
I wanna see my best friend waving at me
I wanna be living with you
Seeing it through
Do you wanna play?
Forever how long can I play?
A song l made, yeah, it’s a song
I’m gonna read something that’s good
But I’ll listen to you

[Refrain]
I’m not asking much
Just enough
Fill my cup
Get me up
You make me laugh, babe

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know what’s expected of me
Besties, night and day
Remember when I said he shouldn’t treat you that way, and are you sure?
I know I want something more

[Verse 2]
And what about you?
In fact, don’t answer that
Wouldn’t want it any other way
‘Cause this feels
Bestie girl
Take it back now
What you feel is the hole in your life
And she’s probably right
She’s probably right, right, right…

[Refrain]
(Just enough) I project
(Fill my cup) I get wet
(Get me up) I get dry
(You make me laugh, babe) You make me cry, babe
Yeah, I came out and where were you?
I think you see right through me
Bestie, on my mind
Just lean into it
I’m a walking TikTok trend
But the colour runs out in the end

[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah-ooh
(Ah-ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ooh)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Besties Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The first verse expresses a deep yearning to escape the current situation and reconnect with a close friend. The narrator wants to be somewhere else, seeking solace in the companionship of their best friend. The repeated question “Do you wanna play?” adds a layer of vulnerability, suggesting the narrator’s desire to escape into a simpler, more carefree moment. The mention of a song they made highlights the creative outlet the narrator uses to process their emotions. The line “I’m gonna read something that’s good, But I’ll listen to you” further emphasizes the narrator’s prioritization of connection over distractions.

[Refrain]
The refrain introduces a sense of emotional need, where the narrator asks for just enough—enough love, enough attention, and enough to lift them up. This section underscores the emotional dependence on the other person to fill a void. It reflects both the highs and lows of the narrator’s feelings, with the emotional swings between laughter and sadness.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, the narrator reflects on the expectations placed upon them, expressing both an awareness of their role in the relationship and the desire for something deeper. The phrase “Besties, night and day” signals the closeness of the bond, while the line “I know I want something more” introduces a yearning for a deeper emotional connection beyond mere friendship. The narrator’s insistence that “he shouldn’t treat you that way” suggests protectiveness and care for their best friend, highlighting the emotional investment and the desire to protect the people they love.

[Verse 2]
The second verse shows a more complex emotional state, where the narrator seems to wrestle with their own feelings. The line “In fact, don’t answer that” implies a level of uncertainty, perhaps not wanting to confront the truth of the situation. The emotional tone shifts with the mention of the “hole in your life,” possibly alluding to a shared sense of emptiness or longing. The repetition of “she’s probably right” suggests a resigned acceptance of advice or external opinions, but with an undertone of doubt or insecurity.

[Refrain]
The second refrain brings an even more heightened emotional intensity, showcasing the narrator’s internal conflict. The fluctuating emotions between laughing, crying, and projecting different feelings onto the situation reflect the narrator’s turbulent state of mind. The mention of TikTok trends highlights a sense of modernity and the pressures of living up to social expectations, while the line “the colour runs out in the end” could symbolize the fading of superficial trends or temporary joys in favor of more meaningful, lasting connections.

[Outro]
The outro repeats the initial melodic phrases, bringing the song to a reflective close. The cyclical nature of the repeated “Ah-ah-ah” evokes a sense of lingering emotion, as if the narrator’s internal thoughts are unresolved and continue to echo in their mind. This repetition mirrors the unresolved longing and desire for deeper connection throughout the song.
