"It’s a different feeling going in and recording a song surrounded by all your friends. You’ll figure out you had no idea that a certain thing can bother you so much. It can be therapeutic. Sometimes I’ll sing 'Funeral' and think, 'Oh shit, a bunch of people are about to feel really bad for me. We’re just having a pity party right now.'" ― Phoebe Bridgers[1]
"Funeral" is the third track from Phoebe Bridgers' debut album, Stranger in the Alps. It was released as the fourth and final single on September 12, 2017 by Dead Oceans.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I'm singin' at a funeral tomorrow
For a kid a year older than me
And I've been talking to his dad, it makes me so sad
When I think too much about it, I can't breathe
And I have this dream where I'm screamin' underwater
While my friends are all waving from the shore
And I don't need you to tell me what that means
I don't believe in that stuff anymore
[Chorus]
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
I always have and always will
[Verse 2]
I have a friend I call
When I've bored myself to tears
And we talk until we think we might just kill ourselves
But then we laugh until it disappears
And last night, I blacked out in my car
And I woke up in my childhood bed
Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself
When I remembered someone's kid is dead
[Chorus]
Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time
And that's just how I feel
Always have and I always will
I always have and always will
[Outro]
And it's 4AM again
And I'm doing nothing
Again
