	Story Behind the Song This is a song I (Seth) wrote one night after received numerous emails one week, each stating "get well." The band had been together for about 4 to 5 months and we began gigging quite heavily. The late nights, 55 hour per week job, numerous weekly gigs, and all things associated led to my getting sick and cancelling some show dates. After sending out the emails of our cancelled dates, I received a bunch of email back with "get well" wishes. I thought that was very nice, and it made me realize that I had a lot of people in my life that cared about me. At the same time, I was feeling a bit of a creative block with my songwriting, and here I had some inspiration that revealed itself to me. So I decided to dedicate it to and write about my friends; my real close friends and our fans (also let it be known that I don't actually KNOW a lot of our fans...they are fans that we don't necessarily know on a personal level, but we consider our fans to be our friends). It was written in winter of 2001 on my girlfriend's couch with lots of OJ, blankets, and NyQuil. When I took it to the rest of the guys, they turned it into something even more special (as they always do) and eventually we decided to bring in some female gospel vocals when it was recorded. That was a great experience. Lyrics SONG FOR MY FRIENDS Hello nice to see you I'm feeling fine today I just get a little startled when you look at me that way And if I tell you that I'm nobody Don't you believe it too I just have to bring me down sometimes to see what I go through Yesterday was black outside, today's a little gray And all your good intentions let me see another day You're placing all this faith inside me that I only wonder why I appreciate your trust for me and the way you make me high We put these things upon the shelf All these little things we tell ourselves Stand by me now I'm going to get it back to you somehow It's not a means to and end It's just a song here for my friends Sometimes I wake up from my sleep and I'm tripping in a dream You can come along with me and I'll show you what I see You're placing all this love inside me that I only wonder why I appreciate your trust for me and the way you make me high We put these things upon the shelf All these little things we tell ourselves Stand by me now I'm going to get it back to you somehow It's not a means to an end It's just a song here for my friends We put these things upon the shelf All these little things we tell ourselves Stand by me now I'm going to get it back to you somehow It's not a means to an end It's just a song here for my friends Stand by me now I'm going to get it back to you somehow It's not a means to an end It's just a song here for my friends (c) 2001 Green Inside
