"Inside Friend" lyrics

"Inside Friend"
(feat. John Mayer)

You can be my inside friend
You can be my inside friend

Slide through when you want
You know I want to put you on
It's evil out there
Let's keep it at home
So come on
I wanna see you slide across the kitchen floor
Can't give you more but

You can be my inside friend
You can be my inside friend
My inside friend
Won't you be my inside friend?

Come through with your hair still wet
Yoga pants, sweatshirt on the bed
Heart heavy and your week been crazy
We can be lazy, baby, embrace me
In this feeling so right
Don't think about leaving anytime tonight

You can just slide across my kitchen floor
And tell me goodbye
And just see yourself right out my door
Come back through when you want to
If you do
You never call me anymore
That's what inside friends are for

You can be my inside friend
You can be my inside friend
My inside friend
Won't you be my inside friend?

"Inside Friend" is the first-ever collaboration between Leon Bridges and John Mayer. The proceeds from this song go to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.
Leon Bridges explained, "The concept for 'Inside Friend' came about from Mayer and I joking around in the studio about what an ideal date for an introvert or homebody like myself would be."
