about

It is a poppy, yet dark, brutally self-aware, and maybe not so subtly queer-coded song that gives a nod to intense friendships of the sapphic-queer-platonic variety, where crushes and romance blossom like reckless wildflowers, shattering hearts and becoming messy quickly, particularly in the summer heat.

lyrics

I always dreamed of fast friends
And loyal girls
Just like in the movies
She would stick by me
Heavenly Creatures
Ain’t got nothing on me

I always dreamed of fast friends
And loyal girls
If you’re scared now
Well you should be
Besties for eternity
Cuz toxic friendship is my specialty

And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer
And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer
And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer
And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer

I always dreamed of fast friends
And loyal girls
She’d adore me
And call me baby
She’d stick up for me
When they call me
When they call me crazy

She was my
She was my
She was my fast friend
My never let me down again
My got my back until the end
She was my fast friend
My never let me down again
My got my back until the end

I always dreamed of fast friends
And loyal girls
speak secret language
Besties for eternity
Cuz toxic friendship is my fuckin specialty

And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer
And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer
And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer
And I know you'll be breaking my heart all summer
And I know you'll be breaking my heart
And I know you'll be breaking my heart
And I know you'll be breaking my heart
All summer

I always dreamed of fast friends
And loyal girls

With a timeless showmanship and knack for comedic timing, this two-person outfit is guaranteed to start a full-on dance party with or without you.” – Shawn Petsche, Sled Island Music Festival Promoter ... more
