Jealousy (All Your Friends in Silverlake) Lyrics

We met A Band of Horses
You recognized my voice and
You said, “hello, have we ever met before?†
I know the drill, you had to chill
You played it cool cause all your friends were there

You live in Silverlake,
You said you hate LA, said it’s fucking lame,
You got more friends in New York anyway
I know the drill, you’ve gotta chill
Gotta play it cool cause you don’t know what your friends would say

All I want is a little bit of your time
All I need is a chance for me to talk to you
I know that I could make you mine

Your friends don’t know about anything
Yeah, but it’s all shit, hating on you cause of me
That’s okay, it’s jealousy

And your best friend’s a guy, he didn’t look me in the eye
He said some shit, you just laughed and said he was shy
That night I took you out, the things we talked about
You played it cool cause you didn’t know what to think about

What they would say about you and me
If your friends found out
They’d be hating on you cause of me, all it is is jealousy

All I want is a little bit of your time
All I need is a chance for me to talk to you
I know that I could make you mine

Your friends don’t know about anything
Yeah, but it’s all shit, hating on you cause of me
That’s okay, it’s jealousy

Have a little drink
Don’t worry about a thing
Forget what they’d say
Yeah, those jealous motherfuckers
Yeah, but they don’t matter anyway

All I want is a little bit of your time
All I need is a chance for me to talk to you
I know that I could make you mine

Your friends don’t know about anything
Yeah, but it’s all shit, hating on you cause of me
That’s okay, it’s jealousy

Jealousy (All Your Friends in Silverlake) Song Chart

The Madden Brothers penned this song because they wanted something fun for their Greetings From California album. Joel Madden explained to Artist Direct : "It's a nod to our past because we've always been sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek about some things. It's a way of laughing at the reality that sometimes we judge each other before we know each other. One-on-one people always tend to have a good experience. When groups of people get involved, the experience can change."
